by default MP does not show "info" items on the hud, as it causes a bad user experience.

Michael, as these 2 messages are the first being sent with MAV_SEVERITY_INFO, to the best of my grep knowledge :), and as they change the engaged FlightMode behavior I think that any kind of warning on GCS would be useful.

I thought those messages were added so that the OSD could display the info. I think for sophisticated GCSs we need to add a new message to provide this info to them. Forcing the GCSs to parse these strings which are only sent once when the state changes means that it's very possible that the GCSs could show incorrect information to the user which will just lead to support calls.
