into

blah blah blah try [extra-devel] to solve it

and have a mouse over warning with the usual disclaimers

nope. that red box could be good enough:

because when somebody points a newcomer to extras-dev, the newcomer will be really fcking pissed if those simple steps bricks the device and after that he realizes that 64bit win is no go for reflashing, .... etc etc.

so please put really big warnings before you even mention extras-testing&dev, not talking about scripts or copypasting stuff to terminal.
