I don't know if I'd want this in my face in the Dashboard all the time. 
It should be *somewhere*, but out of the way. After all, what's the 
point of constantly seeing a warning about safe_mode, if there's no way 
for you to get your host to change it? But it would certainly be useful 
to have some sort of friendly explanations during the install/upgrade 
process.

This is probably a WP2.1 kind of thing.
