and because it is optional, just an additional verification, it should not bother the average user. originally duplicity did not verify sizes afaik.
No, duplicity never verified sizes.

sure, but for now i'd vote for stopping unsettling users without an actual need to do so ;)
I vote with ede on this, remove the message. Anything that unsettles users generates extra work.
