That wasn't my confusion as that seemed rather inplausible indeed. It
was the apparent change from saying "please these warnings in lots of
packages" to "no, don't bother with that" and then finally "I'll live
with warnings in a specific package."

Anyway, thanks again for clarifying. Fix incoming...
