I agree with the info and note being close. I do think that the

that CAUTION meant that you can do this but shouldn't unless you have
experience and WARNING means don't do this because you are getting ready
to fry your system. I wouldn't want to dilute the WARNING down as I
want users to really pay attention to what is being said there and not
just pass it by only to delete everything on their system inadvertently.
Just my 2 cents worth.
To which I would say, no one is worse off if the CAUTION becomes a
WARNING, as opposed to the opposite. People should, given your logic --
with which I agree -- then be a little or a lot more careful than
otherwise, making the admonition that much more effective. I wouldn't
want to dilute the WARNING; given a choice I'd prefer it.
