Well, one thing that does irritate me is that it scares people who can't do anything about it, and probably _shouldn't_ do anything about it.
I wonder if we should just change the "Warning" message to "Informational" or something. Yes, they are often real bugs. But no, they're not _automatically_ bugs. Almost all the time when a warning triggers, it's really just a developer who wants to know about it, it's not something that a user should really care/worry about.
