   BTW. One more thing.
   
    With the timeout - you have not accounted for two things.
   
   1)  the message is going to be repeated multiple times. when people will run 
it. So what I am counting on is the time of displaying the message to be 
multiplied by the number of times people see it. 
   
   2) You have not taken into account scrolling the terminal back. Your logic 
breaks when you proposed "just print warning". If we follow your min 30 seconds 
and take it literaly, this means that any warning printed is never read. If you 
take it to extreme, you should never print any message to the user that might 
potentially lead to an action from the user side. Which is absurd when it comes 
to CLI. When peopel will experience errors later, they will likely scroll up to 
see what was there before - or - in the worst case copy&paste the output if we 
ask them to.  So they will be able to see that message, read and ponder if the 
fact they did not answer "y" might be the reason for failure. And they might 
try again. This sis what I really want to induxe here. This is subtlle and not 
0/1 but well, this is playing to human psychology and it's rarely 0/1 there are 
shades og gray.
