Well, I think its probably fair to say that those warnings are not that useful to HDF5 library *users*. They should probably be turned on *only* for HDF5 developers (or power users).

We are working to reduce them but it'll probably be a while before they are gone. What's the point of turning on warnings that you consider generally harmless? Especially when you don't actually fix them. It seems counterproductive, because useful/serious warnings get lost in the noise.
