Why on earth would anyone complain about such commit from an
already-trusted-person-with-karma?

If you start flooding the commit list with one-liners, people will
probably complain.
But if you are willing to do the extensive work needed to fix several
warnings per commit..

I personally wouldn't commit such patch from 3rd party.
Reverting such commit from a person I trust however wouldn't come to mind.
Cursory review would be all *I* would do.
Can't speak for anyone else...


Fixing these sort of warnings in existing stable releases however IMO
causes more risk then necessary.
