I am very sympathetic to the user arguments here.  I think the performance
impact of such checking is relatively small.

My main concern is the possibility of large amounts of existing code that
does this already, particularly at initialization.  Many of our customers
might be very unhappy if we suddenly started spewing warnings on working
designs.

The possibility of standard mechanisms to turn off the warnings has been
suggested, but that needs more LRM work than is appropriate at this stage
of the process.  We don't even know at this point how detailed that control
needs to be.  If it has to be on a per-instance basis, and turned on or
off during particular times, then it gets a lot more complex.
