What is the point of a repoman 'warning' if it doesn't nag anymore?

For all I know the QA team tries to get rid of them where we can with
the resources available; we're not necessarily tired of seeing them, but
what is the point in having such repoman 'warning' if maintainers as a
whole don't pursue the same goal as the QA team is trying to do here?

These repoman warnings don't block commits; so, they're not problematic
in terms of being able to do your workflow. There has been talk by
Patrick to turn some of the warnings into errors, but that doesn't imply
that the QA team or community necessarily thinks in the same way.

So, I don't think that's something to worry about; especially with the
increased awareness after the DESCRIPTION.punctuation happening.
