If there are known management gizmos to notify, it'd be nice to try to
give them some sort of warning, but even for them, the release notes
should spell it out clearly.
That business where people would delete files with "log" in the path,
not infrequently on a system running at capacity, isn't just
theoretical. I've seen people lose data permanently that way, and I
know I'm not the only one who's seen this in the real world.
Best,
David.
