As I've said in other forums, despite some initial misgivings, I'm willing to give this a spin, on the following condition: the number of lines of motd + the number of lines for the maximum hint should not cause the default console to scroll. The current motd does an effective job at providing the necessary "you just logged in for the first time" information, pointing the user at the errata, common sources of question answering, simple man page reference, how to re-enter sysinstall, and how to remove the note. Given the length of the message, we probably have to trim the message if we want to retain login tips, preferably without losing useful content. Oh, and you have to legally adopt "paperclip" was your middle name :-).
