- ``--no-site-packages`` is now the default for virtualenv and can be
- omitted. Do not override the default and use ``--system-site-packages``
- unless you know what you are doing.
+ Avoid using the ``--system-site-packages`` option when creating the
+ virtualenv unless you know what you are doing. For versions of virtualenv
+ prior to 1.7, make sure to use the ``--no-site-packages`` option, because
+ this option was formerly not the default and may produce undesirable
