I'm not sure if this is what MM thinks about, but have a look at 
http://www.canit.se/~marcus/The_Bat/Conflicts.jpg

I don't think "Main Menu->Message->New" and "Folder Pane 
Pop-up->Message->New" should be marked with warnings just because they both 
uses the same shortcut, since this is merely two ways of reaching the same 
functionality. All those green warning blurs up my sight when looking for 
the real conflicts.

I know there is a "Conflicts" button and that conflicts and warnings are 
not the same, but my point is that with all these warnings you tend to miss 
the essential problems. It's a bit like my grand mothers word processor 
which always asks her "There already exists a file with the same name, are 
you sure you want to overwrite it?" when she is trying to save her work, no 
matter if she uses "Save" or "Save as...". I suppose you could all imagine 
how much she cares about this warning after a few years, and what happens 
if she *is* trying to overwrite *another* file. It's given me a few hours 
of work...

Well, I notice that I'm drifting away. My point is that unnecessary 
warnings tend to be contra productive.
