Question is, how often should setup show this message?  Every time might
really be a bit annoying.  Some kind of "I saw it, now leave me alone,
at least for a while" kind of function would be great.

Other than that, for people not visiting the home page or subscribing
to the mailing lists that may turn out to be an important info, so I'm
for it.
