Comment (by starlight):
The motivation for removing the option (to prevent people from harming
themselves inadvertently) is evident and sensible. For me it would work
if a prefix to the socks isolation username or password acted as a flag to
suppress the warning. Perhaps "UNSAFE" or similar blatant indication.
The purpose of the script where this happens is issuing arbitrary DNS
queries anonymously--no chance I will accidently request my own addresses
unintentionally.
Or, don't worry about it. I prefer logs clear of distracting noise (so I
don't miss important messages) and have demoted several daemon messages to
info or debug level in my builds. I can hack this one as well. But spam
is spam and it invariable harms the signal-to-noise ratio on any channel.
