Is there some way we can autogenerate some message on the lines of: "This kernel has the following debugging settings enabled: foo bar baz Don't use it for performance testing (or be aware that it will suck if you do)" or some similar message, perhaps even displaying it on logon/motd, or something similar? Are these debug options for the running kernel queryable e.g. via /proc ? For that matter, do we already have a "this is a pre-release version of Fedora; rawhide will eat your brains" message?
