   // about "ps -aux" suddenly changing behavior if a user "x" were
   // added to the system.
   //
+  //   Yes, this is still getting patched out here.  IMO, people can change
+  //   old habits if and when user 'x' comes along.  I still find this warning
+  //   to be a POLA violation.  No offense...  that's the beauty of open source.
+  //   You've got your ideas about this, and I have mine, and we're allowed
+  //   to disagree.  Nothing in the UNIX or POSIX standards requires this (annoying)
+  //   warning to be displayed, and we're not changing the actual behavior
+  //   of ps in any way.  I know of no other 'ps' that produces this message.
+  //
   // Also, a "-x" option is coming. It's already there in fact,
   // for some non-default personalities. So "ps -ax" will parse
   // as SysV options... and you're screwed if you've been patching
   // out the friendly warning. Cut-over is likely to be in 2005.
