That might go a long way towards helping non-wizard folks to enjoy some measure of additional protection by default. Just a thought.
But again, that breaks upstream compatibility.Besides, all of you know that there are people that click "yes" on every dialog box without reading them. I swear that if you added a dialog box that stated their firstborn would be sacrificed to the IT gods, and recorded the answers, you would get a large percentage of "yes" clicks. And most of those would be unintentional.
