I don’t really see what that means exactly, but I suppose the warning is there
for so long and no one seems notice much trouble (or benefit) because of it, so
I think you will probably need to come up with a proper justification to
explain why it is a trouble now, and how your patchset suddenly start to
trigger the warning as well as why it is no better way but to suffer this
debuggability regression (probably tiny but still).
