It's hardly a bogus warning not to go messing up what might be a
dual-boot system by destroying your current booting system, which you
might still need to use.

One of the big complaints about other systems is that they'd take over
the bootup, and destroy things that the user needed keeping as they
were.

The user should be warned, and be able to customise things, while
installing and setting up.
