I won't say no, but I will caution that I don't believe for a minute
that this is actually going to help novice users, who will typically
notice their changes are gone only after running log, therefore moving
the recovery instructions off the screen.

Note that the recovery instructions need to be right with obsolete
enabled, which will be different.
