OK, that sounds sensible. An alternative that may be more sensible
is to actually diagnose this as an error, but the purpose of this
message is to help users diagnose a possible misconfiguration and
keeping the repository "working" with the remaining set of object
stores by leaving it as a mere warning, like this patch does, is
probably a better approach.
