I don't think it is as beneficial as some sort of roll back method.  If I
want to install or make a change and I get a warning, I only have two
options - don't do it out of fear, or try it in hopes of achieving what it
supposedly will achieve.  As a result, I think most people will simply
assume the warning is just a precaution with no real chance of happening.

For that reason I am hopeful some sort of roll back / system repair option
could be found.  I think "a" warning message is still good though.
