Furthermore, a warning that doesn't say where it came from or on whose
authority it is issued is just annoying. The existing README text would be better:

Indeed.

And why should we want such a message in the "format" file rather than, say,
the "entries" file? Do we have reason to expect people to find it there?

And what happened on the first "+" line in this diff hunk of the commit?
