I'd be inclined to agree.  But why not split the difference?  If there's
an immediate conflict (which can cause a cascade of conflicts forcing
the scheduler to run) why not pop up a dialog either advising that the
conflict page should be visited or offering to take you there?

True.  It is much easier to see what will and won't be recorded at the
same time...
