Can you please clarify what you mean by "This warning needs to be
heeded and the code fixed"?  In particular, which of the following is
what you are saying?

- [ ] If these issues don't get fixed, I won't use Sage.

- [ ] If some random college professors doing Sage development in
their spare time for free don't drop what they are doing and fix these
bugs, then you won't be able to sell Sage to a defense contractor,
like the 1 million lines of code my company sold once.

- [ ] I am asking whether the Sage development community would be
amenable to accepting patches that fix these issues?  If so, I may
have some followup questions.

- [ ] You guys must allocate some of the fulltime paid Sage developers
to fixing these issues, because ...

- [ ] None of the above.

skilled professional software engineer and computational number theory
researcher.  However, the tone of your message is a bit hard to parse
in email.)
