Comment(by zooko):

 How about this for the warning paragraph:

 "Be VERY careful that you know what you're doing if you use this feature.
 Choosing bad keys could compromise the security of your files.  Also, a
 key MUST NOT be used more than once.  If the same key is ever used more
 than once -- whether on more than one file or even on the same file with
 more than one set of FEC parameters (K, N, segsize) -- it will expose the
 cleartext of the files it was used on, as well as causing uploads of those
 files to fail even while indicating successful upload."
