Thanks for the explanation.

However, this sounds really weird to me: if an error or warning message
is totally harmless and should be ignored by the user, the most sensible
thing to do is to suppress the message, so that it is not shown to the
user at all.

I suspect that upstream will get a good number of bug reports
about this in the months and years to come, until the spurious
message is finally suppressed...

Maybe the message should be suppressed once and for all?
The sooner, the better.

Do you agree?
Could you please forward these considerations upstream?

Thanks for your time.
Bye!
