Not the writers. It is the sysadmin/user. If the software author is aware of bad interaction it behooves them to mention it in the README. Just as a pharmacist will mention such interactions for a prescription. The ultimate responsiblity belongs with the end user. Lawyers love it when people are eager to blame someone else for their own ignorance. -- Chief Gadgeteer Elegant Innovations
