Arguably, these should be converted to advice messages (which the user can squelch, too), but that's a much bigger effort to get right. - Neither of these apply to the first hunk in do_exec(), but this two-line message looks just too much like a real sentence to not terminate it. Also, leaving it alone would make it asymmetrical to the other hunk.
