Luckily, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I think the patch is useful, since it warns the user about an
assumption the code makes, which in quite a lot of cases may not be
what the user really wants.
To ensure the user sees this warning, it should also be marked as a
warning, or it might be missed, resulting in questions and/or
complaints later.

So IMHO, just go ahead and push.
