Same here, though it is more like dozens instead of tons of messages.
I've written a patch to allow the user to skip these messages if
desired.
Appreciated.
Feedback welcome.
I was always asking myself whether I should care about those messages.
Everything seems to work fine. But nevertheless, somebody more involved
than me decided it was a good idea to output those warnings. It just felt
wrong to me to patch them away. Either it actually is an issue (then it
should be fixed) or it isn't (then there shouldn't be a warning). It never
crossed my mind that both won't happen and we should be looking for some
middle way (keeping the warnings but just disabling the output for those
not interested). Guess it would be interesting to get an upstream opinion
about it early. If they figure there is good reason for those messages to
stay, we can still patch them away. But maybe they prefer to fix or remove
irrelevant ones and only relevant ones remain that I may actually want to
know about. After all, it might be my fault that e.g. required icons are
missing somewhere...
