Just for the record, I explicitly stated in my suggestion to warm
the user (rather than just the builder) that Emacs should _not_ nag
the user every time.
I was thinking of disabling the commands in question in the case
that they will be insecure and prompting along the lines of:
You have typed abc, invoking disabled command xyz.
Beware: This command retrieves POP3 email via only insecure
channels. See [reference to relevant documentation] for more
information.
Do you want to use this command anyway?
You can now type
y to try it and enable it (no questions if you use it again).
n to cancel--don't try the command, and it remains disabled.
SPC to try the command just this once, but leave it disabled.
! to try it, and enable all disabled commands for this session only.
This informs the user but only does so once (if they don't want to
be told again); after that they need not see the warning ever
again. Telling someone something once really cannot be described
as "nagging".
