Exactly! I could attempt to flog the developers, but I don't have the
authority to push them into doing it, as I'm not exactly high on the food
chain.  

So you did your job, even though somebody else didn't do theirs, and you get
the final result you want--working functionality that is appropriately
documented. Without actually being the bad guy.  It's so cool!

Did that in my last big help application. You're right about nobody
having an issue with it...EXCEPT: When they saw how many features of
the software had that disclaimer, the PM jumped on development to get
more of the features completed so they wouldn't NEED the disclaimer.
