Noisy *IS* broken!

In some ways it's one of the worst kinds of broken.  Working with libraries
that import other libraries and trigger warnings that have nothing to do
with MY code is super annoying.  I know this is a thorny question, since
too-quiet means things don't change, and too noisy means users get warnings
they are helpless to deal with.
