Or my earlier example - USB_SUSPEND and such. If there end up being lots of config checks that are fatal then users will inevitably end up overriding them, and then they'll get burned when the check really matters. I think the better option in any case is to use a news item when things change so that users can actually plan for the upcoming changes and not find out in the middle of a build. News can be targeted at those who need to know, it shows up for users 5 years from now if still relevant not if otherwise, and it only shows up once when it matters. Rich
