Sorry for the terse response. I agree with others that it was premature to
enable the warnings before all the instances were cleaned. But since things
are as they are, and since I saw others had 100% cleaned drivers/net, I took
it upon myself to clean up some other top-level directories without worrying
about if it made sense or not.
