Yes. As lost+found is created by xfs_repair, and running xfs_repair is a
manual action by the admin, I really don't see the point in warning the
admin that there are files in lost+found on an XFS filesystem.

The admin should be well aware of that already; something pretty bad
happened if there are files in lost+found and that required some serious
attention from the admin to recover from, so I really can't imagine how
it could go unnoticed :)
