They might forget! :) Seriously, right now we constantly display the security levels on the homepage, and there's a reason for that: they are important, we want people to add friends and upgrade from NORMAL to HIGH. We used to have an explicit warning about running opennet for this reason, now we just show the security levels. Re messages, IMHO sufficiently important messages should be displayed on every page, not just the homepage. Whether all messages should be displayed on every (generated) page, I dunno (obviously we'd want to coalesce some notifications). But if the security levels message is to be displayed continually, clearly we should make it a proper part of the UI, hence of the status line.
