Warnings != bugs.

> For more information we have the FAQ:

I'll bet 99% of users don't know where their GnuPG FAQ is at on their
system, if it's installed at all.  Furthermore, the FAQ is not linked from
the top page at http://www.gnupg.org/.  Furthermore, I'll bet it does
*not* pop into users' head to go to the website to check a FAQ.  They
expect programs to be self-explaining as much as possible.  Explictly
giving URL in warning is a great way to go.

Sorry Werner, but you haven't been a 'user' for a long time.
