Hmmm, your WARNING looks for me like an unsafe GO decision. But it is a GO decision. Only it has attached with it a warning message. So you are well within the GO / NO GO pattern.
Actually a WARNING is only necessary because the check is not precise enough about the state of the system. If you'd have precise information about the system, you could make a clean decision and _know_ whether this is a GO or a NO GO. Without the warning message. (And I understand that such cases with imprecise checks can exist).
