Warning to users of some vendors LCD keypad shields

It looks like robotshop is not dfrobot.
No warning here, and the schematic has not changed...

Yes, robotshop is a distributor for various parts manufactured by others (DFRobot in this case makes the lcd shield). I've used them in the past rather than ordering straight from DFRobot because Robotshop is USA based and shipping times are much less. As I mentioned upthread, evidently robotshop hasn't changed the warning, but when I ordered the lcd shield in May, it was the fixed version where button 10 does control the contrast.

IIRC, you can't use servos and the lcd shield together on UNOs because the servo library disables PWM on pins 9 and 10.
