I believe what Liliana meant is that it's worse to 'transparently' upgrade to a data package that doesn't provide the 'fortune' command at all (or conversely, an implementation of the command that doesn't propagate the actual fortune data), than it is to signal to users through an error message that something's up and they need to stop and think.
(Er, that's a lot more words to put in someone's mouth than I intended to, sorry :-)
I'd suggest a news item but I really don't think this warrants it.
Kind regards,
T G-R
