I'd personally rather not do this - if people want to shoot themselves
in the foot, I'm willing to let them, so long as they know that the gun
is loaded.

The phrase is used by many other WPs to describe this functionality,
including "that" other WP. I'm loathe to change it.

Will try our best.

Now ghosted out.

Will do.

Will not do.

Done vi ImageMagick plugin. EPS really isn't that common anyway...
Consider done.

dictionary XYZ" message sufficient warning for the time being.
Feel free to help with any of these issues. Don't necessarily limit
