these are unrelated questions. respecting your freedom doesn't entail preventing you from engaging in self harm. ideally, you'd have at least the senses to not harm others around you, but imposing that on you ahead of time so that you didn't have a choice would be like DRM.

now, software that takes control away from its users shouldn't even exist. when we get there, documentation on how to harm yourself by installing software that doesn't exist won't exist either, so it's not like having such documentation is necessary or desirable. but its inclusion shows where the includer stands: with the users, standing for their autonomy, or with those who wish to control the users through the software they use.
