I ended up reverting it in d8051557aee9fa252b015ff67cc15681e8540777
because it affects everyone, I couldn’t think of an easy way to address
that while still getting the warning when we want it, and it seems we
may have to discuss the issue a bit more (apologies for assuming we had
reached a consensus!).

Thanks,
Ludo’.
