    Because if there already exists more than a handful peoples' eyes glaze
    over and ignore "just one more warning"

    Unless they break the build, or if there currently are 0 and they make
    it non-zero, people seem not to care....sad. Probably the same for
    sparse/checkpatch, "there's plenty already, I can't be bothered to look"

    Subject to someone _making_ it an issue, can't see it changing.
