Thinking of the various cooker users who simply wont read this mail,
would it be wise to include this in the actual package itself?

I know this is only going to affect cooker->cooker updates and doesn't
necessarily need to be in the package permanently for 2009.1, but it
will probably save a while lot of hassle and follow up....

If it is removed in say 3 months time from the package and we get some
cooker users moaning that their upgrade broke we can deal with it then,
but if it breaks for them that far in the future, the chances are they
wouldn't have read this message either!!!

WDYT?
