I know it makes *me* feel better when I commit anything that messes with the bytecode. I don't know how much it really matters to end users - bytecode hackery has been frowned upon for so long, the warning is probably somewhat redundant. Still, if we do articulate a clearer policy on the topic, it should be officially documented somewhere, and the AST module docs are probably the most discoverable of the available options.
