I like this and find it reasonable. I have to admit that the first
time I used rollout extension I was a bit unsure of what exactly was
happening and with which settings, even though I've read all your
mails on this feature.

But there's a slight problem with "Don't give this warning any more"
if the above is a radio button group: What's the consequence besides
getting rid of this window? Which settings will be used then?
