That was more a "I don't care at all -- I just want to disable this 
thing right away" type of hint.  And the "if you know what you're doing" 
should normally exclude idiots. But you may as well just remove the 
"without further considerations" part.

Maybe.  But my concern is more for users like Jens who are annoyed 
enough and just want this behavior to get out of their way.
