"No" is not constructive here. People can be annoyed with warning
messages, but the real issue here are the various CI systems which
send a lot of spam because of that. As a maintainer I would need to
drop CI in order to see a good patch. If Linus considers that warning
useless, then probably you can change your patch to do what he
proposed.
