Hi Dave,
That seems wise. Thanks for the advice. A more sophisticated way of approaching this would be for the kernel to also send a bitmap of which attributes are "critical" and only warn (or even error) of _those_ are not understood. But that seems needlessly complex, and so I think I'll go with your suggestion, and simply warn once with a shorter message.
Jason
