Comment(by asn):

 The thing is that now there is no message on Tor (website/binary/wherever)
 mentioning that Tor is a low-latency anonymity tool and should not be used
 for *strong* anonymity [1]

 I'm not good with words so I can't help you with the phrasing but I still
 believe that there should be a "don't use it for strong anonymity" [1] or
 a link to a Tor threat model or something like "We recommend you to learn
 how and what Tor protects against, before using it."

 [1]: Which is probably a subjective and although vague term, it probably
 gets a point across.
