Hey, no need for sarcasm here; I don't think the four lines could offend
anyone, being merely a different solution proposal. Yours is pretty good
too.

> Solution:
>
> modutils 2.4.16 says

> Warning: loading <module> will taint the kernel. Reason <reason>
> See <TAINT_URL> for information on tainted modules
> Module loaded, with warnings

> ship modutils with a TAINT_URL that points to their support policy.

Neat!
