I'm reviewing my recipes today to make sure everything conforms with 
this methodology.

This is minor, but I'm curious about something with this patch regarding 
warnings & errors:

Should I care that this commit says 'add warning' but the implementation 
calls bb.error()?

It looks like neither warning nor error throws an exception, so are they 
interchangeable, both really warnings?

Although my build this morning produced an image, I had a couple of 
these errors, or were they just warnings?

Thanks

Bob
