Hi John,

keeping a reasonable warning-management IMO this is another crucial 
point, because people for now get drowned.
Suggest as a first step to abolish all pure warnings, keeping errors 
only. I.e. tell if something is broken or very probably broken. Abolish 
all pure warnings, style warnings etc.

Then let's establish a policy for warnings - which needs an api, which 
didn't exist or was not right when looked into some years ago.

Cheers,

Andreas
