One could just as easily increase the key pool to 2000 or 5000 addresses and know that the average user will probably die before they run out of addresses. Then such a feature reminding them they're low on pool addresses wouldn't be needed.

Currently there's no easy way to see if the address pool of 100 new addresses since your last backup has been used up. Bitcoin-qt currently has a backup feature build in, so wouldn't it be quite easy to implement either a counter or message that notifies the user when a new backup is needed to keep his/her funds safe? This counter could be reset each time a new backup is created inside Bitcoin-qt. Now I know some people use different/automatic backup procedures, but a simple command in the config file could disable this feature.
