I got a lot of complaints in the last trial.

It is easy to send a patch like this, but difficult to
make sure that I will not break any CI tests.

Over time, I started to believe keeping this as a warning
is OK.

The same problem happens when you add a new __must_check
annotation. You end up with fixing all the call-sites in advance.
