Me too, but this would be against POSIX, and I think it is also borderline to remove the warning only for POSIXLY_CORRECT. But I agree we can say in NEWS that the default for --warn may be changed in the future, just in case.

-    dfawarn ("character classes syntax is [[:space:]], not [:space:]");
+    dfawarn ("character class syntax is [[:space:]], not [:space:]");

You're the native speaker, so I'm not going to complain. :)

You're welcome to push the amended patchset!
