Is there any consideration of promoting these or other warnings to

You mean the perl warnings?
Yes - it'd be nice if the warnings caused an obvious failure to allow
addressing the issue. I noticed the icu warning while looking at a bug
in 0da243fed, and updating to add ZSTD.
Perl warnings can be made fatal with `use warnings FATAL =>
<categories>;`, but one should be careful about which categories to
fatalise, per<https://metacpan.org/pod/warnings#Fatal-Warnings>.
Some categories are inherently unsafe to fatalise, as documented in
<https://metacpan.org/pod/strictures#CATEGORY-SELECTIONS>.
Yeah.
It would be nice if there were some fuller explanation of the various
categories, but I don't know of one.
Looks like the explanations are in the perldiag manual page.
