Sounds like this could possibly help educate users about a dangerous
practice, which seems great! Perhaps the proposal could include a part
about what action this warning would suggest to the user?

2 more cts: the exact wording should probably not expose the feature
as a malware detector (since a Tails system can't verify itself
reliably, the way it's currently designed).
