Maybe. In my own personal experience, I hit this sort of thing when using tools. Consider for example black - if that triggered a warning, I'd report it, but then what would I do? Edit my copy of black (possibly in multiple environments) to suppress the warning? Block the warning globally which means I then don't see it for other projects and hence don't report it to them? Work out the precise incantation to suppress it just for black? In practice, I just moan a lot about the warning, and vote to suppress warnings by default next time the question comes up :-) So yes, maybe it's an education/usability issue, but if so it's one that's hard to fix. If we can work out a way for users (who may well have limited programming knowledge) to just "push a button" to say "I reported that issue to black, now stop bothering me about it for this version of black (at least on this PC)" then that would be great. But at the moment I don't believe it's that simple.
