From the committer-guide:
"Good commit messages are important. They tell others why you did the changes 
you did, not just right here and now, but months or years from now when 
someone wonders why some seemingly illogical or inefficient piece of code 
snuck into your source file."

Other than that, this seems to be an outcome of the *ongoing* thread in 
hackers. If there is any consensus in that thread, then it's that every such 
goof should be conditionalized by a environment variable.

Any particular reason for this change? Any added value in this warning (I fail 
to see)?
