Don't invite trouble by waving the 'Dangerously Dedicated' (DD) option

at people.  This has been sitting in my tree for a few months now.  I
have spoken with quite a few folks about this and the support for doing
this was pretty strong.  I dont remember names though, so I cannot share
the blame :-(.  Note that this does not *remove* DD mode, it just stops
waving it at new users.  You can still set it via config files etc, and
the bootblocks and kernel still support it.  You can still use disklabel
to make true DD disks.
