I think the rest of the sentence supplies useful context.

Reading through my litotes there, this actually says I'm _willing_ to
undertake the revision, but _only_ in conjunction with a more serious
editorial revision. I don't think the issue reported is worth fixing to
make "git grep 'point size'" not match anything, which seems to me to
approximate Bjarni's concern; such would be in keeping with his
preoccupation with compiler warnings and other diagnostics, frequently
accompanied by a dearth of concern over intended or actual program
behavior. (What would Edsger Dijkstra say?)

I think Bjarni has a predilection for raising issues that draw celestial
ghosts into performing a close-quarters fandango on the proverbial blunt
end of a handheld garment alteration apparatus.
