Where/when do LibreOffice and Firefox display such a thing?

Right.  That's the issue for me: the real estate of the "splash screen"
shouldn't be wasted on such information, especially since some could
read as "Oh, please take into account that we're so especially buggy
that we need to warn you first thing".
