I would want to know what I was getting in trade for the increased risk of enabling javascript. Your proposed message isn't substantially different from the current message. Noscript users are going to be more savvy than average users, but they are still users so if you are going to make any effort to inform them, make sure it's from the perspective of a user rather than a developer. Developers care about AJAX, users…

But I'm a developer, so I don't know what the best wording for this is. The point is, some of the functionality of the site is broken when not using Javascript because it's AJAXed and there is no fallback with POSTs and so forth (that's not in the development budget)

You charge extra to do it properly?

I only have so many hours in the day, I already got assigned on a different project, they told me they don't have time to support less than 5% of users.

You ask for permission to do your job properly?
