I pulled, and then unpulled again, since this introduces new warnings.
If you introduce new checks, you fix what it checks.
And if the warnings didn't get sorted out, then it wasn't ready to be merged.
There's a good *reason* I require a clean build: non-clean builds
just mean that people will ignore new warnings because they think they
are the old ones that they have already seen.
So no, it is *NOT* ok to introduce new warnings and think "people will
fix these up because now there are warnings about it".
Quite the reverse. People not only *won't* fix things up, and it will
just hide new warnings from *other* things instead.
