Hi Alex,

Thanks for the clarification.

I understand now that the behavior should remain a hard failure in oe-core,
and that the earlier interpretation was incorrect.

I'll drop the patch that downgrades the check to a warning.

Thanks for pointing out the existing commit in oe-core as well that helps
clear up the confusion.

Regards,
Aditya
