How is it completely logical that the dwarfs would continue to dig into wet or hot stone? Even if the stone above isn't revealed, there should be a check for those dangers. As that currently happens as part of the spot being revealed, the simplest solution is to just reveal it.

start a new bug report saying 'no warning when digging down stairs in warm/wet stone from level below'

the obvious solution is to have stones above up stairs be revealed, but don't demand that! Let Toady consider the problem and devise a solution that is compatible with his visions/code

Actually, I bumped this thread because it basically covers all the arguments already. If I'd made a new report, we'd've just rehashed this all over again, with the added bonus of people saying "why didn't you bump this older thread, stupid?"

This thread and your issue are completely different things.

The topic covered by this thread is not a bug. Also, not cancelling the digging designation because of warm or damp stone would be considered as "Working as designed", however it has not been completely designed.

You're free to think that I'm doing the wrong thing, but I'm sure that Toady's perfectly capable of determining what the real problem is in this thread, and that creating a new thread would just waste his time.

Obviously we don't see eye to eye on this issue, so let's just drop it and move on.
