I'm sorry. I asked a rhetorical question. Yes, *I* know what it means, but
it's certainly not obvious what it means to someone not as familiar with
qooxdoo as I am. I think you know by now that I'm a big proponent of "make
things obvious and easy to learn" :-) so that it doesn't take years of
experience or an indepth knowledge of qooxdoo to understand what's going on.
Let me rephrase my rhetorical question as a suggestion instead. I suggest
replacing the generic "Excludes may break code!" message with a more
specific:
Warning: qx.legacy.* has been explicitly excluded at config.json:19
Warning: qx.test.* has been explicitly excluded at config.json:19
I'll post bug reports for this and the "quiet isn't quite quiet" issue.
