The admin will be aware because...

1) he's following our discussion?

2) he'll read the commit messages and hopefully understand?

3) we *actually* have documentation somewhere explaining how we envision that stuff to be used?

Or none of the above and he'll end up doing whatever and then he'll eventually figure out that we don't support that use case but he's doing it already anyway and we don't break userspace so we have to support it now and we're stuck somewhere between a rock and a hard place?

Hmm, I think we have enough misguided use cases as it is - don't need another one.
