That is what it tells you _if_ you do not know what you are doing. What else do you believe people should be doing if they did not _deliberately_ want to override the usual Custom safeguards, but got to see these options by accident (presumably through a bug)? If this is truly dangerous, then we shouldn't show it. By default, we do not show it. If this is truly dangerous, then we shouldn't show it. It is not necessarily dangerous if you know what you are doing. Sincerely, Luc.
