The reason I say put it right above or below that line and in upper case
is because I suspect a lot of people do what I do--we open the file, our
eye goes right to that line, we change it and close it.  For instance,
if there had been a note at the beginning of the file when I went to
edit it, I would have missed it the first time.  (I like to think I
would have caught it the second time, when it booted into level 5 and I
went back to look and see what had happened.)

It seems the majority of people boot into level 5, and for those folks,
I think that even as is, it might be completely transparent.  

Still we textmode booting folks aren't completely extinct yet.  :)
