Coming up to release I didn't really want to add more warnings and its
slipped through the cracks. I'll likely take this next week when things
quieten down a bit, ELC-E, the OE-GA, Yocto Project Dev day and so on
are making this one a little hectic.

Does anyone know how many warnings this is going to generate on an
OE-Core world build?

The biggest issue I have with these new tests is people also stepping up
and fixing the warnings they generate since often its a non-trivial
effort. The Yocto Project has been doing a lot here, quietly fixing a
lot of them up but more help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Richard
