Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

Try adding the following line to your rc file (settings\init.txt in your crawl directory):
warn_hatches = true
This will prompt a warning whenever you try to take an escape hatch (upward and downward).

warn_hatches = true doesn't work very well, because autotravel tries to take paths across floors that include hatches and the rc setting doesn't distinguish between prompting for autotravel-selected hatches and manually selected hatches.
It ends up annoying you by breaking your travel with a spam message each time its chosen path includes a hatch whenever you later try to autotravel (between branches, to shops, or to floor items). It's fairly clear that whoever implemented warn_hatches never actually played with it on for long.
Ideally this setting would be patched, either to not trigger the prompt on autotravel-moves, or to change autotravel's behavior to no longer regard hatch paths as valid.
