Actually, I wouldn't do that.  The warning is controversial and recently
introduced.  Proposing a patch to disable it would step into a fairly
huge controversy.  The patch as is, looks fine ... it's basically what I
asked of the people who did the conversion, but they contaminated their
patch with a lot of unnecessary cruft, so I'll take this one.
