Reviewing the use of admonitions

I agree with the info and note being close.  I do think that the caution
and warning could be defined differently.  IF I were defining them I say
that CAUTION meant that you can do this but shouldn't unless you have
experience and WARNING means don't do this because you are getting ready
to fry your system.  I wouldn't want to dilute the WARNING down as I
want users to really pay attention to what is being said there and not
just pass it by only to delete everything on their system inadvertently.

Just my 2 cents worth.
