I wonder how many ordinary users are actually *not* using freshclam  
for updates. Pretty much every major distribution I know of will setup  
ClamAV in a way that updates are handled through freshclam. Unless you  
have a *really* fast internet connection, downloading the full .cvd  
files will be a lot slower than downloading a .cdiff and applying  
that. I think most ordinary users with reasonably recent ClamAV  
installations won't even be aware what is happening at the moment.  
Having said that, I agree a prominent message about the obsolescence  
of ClamAV < 0.100 and the current download limits is desireable.
