if rc detects magic_quotes_gpc=on always do the workaround and display always a warning but with a hint, where to deactivate this warning. This way we spread the information about the magic_quotes problem and reduce support questions.

Problem is that many scripts rely on magic_quotes_gpc=on. Even most PHP sites say that magic_quotes is a very important setting, because it helps avoiding security problems in scripts (which is totally wrong :-/).

If you tell people to switch that off, they might get problems with other scripts.
