One of thee post-release things I want to sort out is the QA warnings
and I add this warning under that category. We introduced the ideas of
warnings to error and warn on into the QA class already and I'd like to
be able to control this warning in that way using the same variables.
Also, rather than being bb.fatal, this should be bb.error. An Error
message will allow the build to complete but will set the bitbake exit
code to show when errors have occurred. This means errors still light
the autobuilder up red when they occur so we're usually pretty good
about noticing and removing error messages.
Cheers,
Richard
