Prob wouldn't go over too well; I know I start a make world before I go to
bed, and I'd rather not have it get 1/10 of the way thru, and I don't find
out until I get home from work the next day, and waste a whole day doing a
several hour task.
But it WOULD be effective...  Although it could quickly become about as
effective as warnings in /etc/motd.
