sorry, but I just have to rant back ;) First of all: I don't think TYPO3
is targeted at kids but at adults who should know what they are doing,
if you don't like coffee, then don't drink it.

Second: There is no proof that caffeine has long-term negative effects
on adults when consumed moderately (which means up to 5 cups a day or
300mg). Just Google for "caffeine and health" and read the articles like
http://www.benbest.com/health/caffeine.html or
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hl-vs/iyh-vsv/food-aliment/caffeine-eng.php

The argument that caffeine is bad comes up pretty often but is seldom
supported by facts, only by popculture, that's why I wanted to jump in
here. It's of course everyone's own decision what he/she/it drinks and
believes about it, but before ranting I want to see facts.

Regarding the introduction package: Back to my first point, I think the
sentence is ok, because people who don't like coffee will just not drink
any. We don't need to protect other adults from potentially wrong
beverage choices, this is no kindergarten.

Cheers!
