The point of this reminder is to alert people that most preexisting content will break regardless of whether it waits for user input.
That is, even content that only plays sounds when a button is pressed will, in general, break, unless it happens to also call `context.resume` in the same event handler (which content predating this policy generally had no reason to do).
I'll add a note to the post to make this clearer...
