the status quo is obviously not working.  i spent quite a bit of time
in the past to get the warnings down to 0 for my builds and all ive
seen since then is the # creep back up.  if people arent being made
aware of the issue, they obviously arent going to do anything about
it.  some people might condition themselves to ignore it, but that
applies to any sort of warning message.
