FWIW, this is most likely the quote that Wietse is referring to:

  There is a race between mankind and the universe. Mankind is trying
  to build bigger, better, faster, and more foolproof machines. The
  universe is trying to build bigger, better, and faster fools. So far
  the universe is winning.

I can only hope that we, the postfix community, will focus on postfix.
And I tent to say
  Remove the warning labels. The problem should sort itself out.
