+*EXPERIMENTAL PLUGIN NOTES*
 
-**General notes about the modified source files (the ones in the above archive)
+This plugin will always use the latest openwrt revision/kernel. However, due to changes in the OpenWrt source (which are impossible to anticipate) build errors may be encountered. Therefore this is only recommended for advanced users. With that being said, the build errors are usually remedied quite easily (if you have knowledge of how patches work) by simply updating the offending patchfile(s). Please read the README included with the plugin to increase the likelihood of success. 
+
+**General notes about the modified source files (the ones in the above archives)
 - The new plugin facility automatically patches the DebWrt config files to create brcm4716 based device targets as well as select all required packages and options.
 - Other brcm4716 based devices include the Belkin PlayMax F7D4301, Linksys E3000 v1 and the Linksys WRT610N v2. This plugin should work for them as well but is untested.
