No, it's unacceptable because stable users do not need that kind of
stuff thrown at them. Stable users use stable because they want a very
predictable workflow. Noisy errors that shouldn't affect them(they are
in the stable branch) *is* unacceptable, and not just because it's ugly,
though that's certainly part of it.
You have quite a good point here. It's purely cosmetical, but since it's
an unexpected behavior and it's annoying and could alienate our users
it's better to avoid it with all our strength.
