Ah.  True.  I'm used to running with it (on i386, at least).

Too many "big notes" at the top of UPDATING, and people's eyes
will glaze over and they won't read any of it.  Particularly if
that big note is for some event that most users won't see.  A
small note, with a URL, would be more likely to work, I think.

Or change the error message to include that URL.
