That might be the case. At the time the warning was added, there was
consensus that it is be easy to do something about each of them.  It
was only detected later that it is not easy in some cases (strictly
speaking, you can correct all the warnings today, taking, for example,
the approach that Jack would take, of adding a custom conversion
function into your C modules).

Today, I would rather hope that somebody contributes a patch to add
the requested features instead of contributing a patch to disable the
warning.
