Exactly.

We can have a delay or a key press, that's not so important. My
intention is the following:
Imagine a new user reads this message; which questions come up: Is this
important, does it any harm to my system? Have I to act immediately?
Where can i find information about this message? What to do to fix the
problem if it's one? etc etc.
To point him/her to the syslog is no good idea, so I thought about a
brief log, that explains what was going on.
The main question is: Is this message crucial for the use of brltty, or
is it just a reminder that something _may_ be not quite right.
Have i been clearly enough?
