Well, not 100% true.

Basically when you're adding patch files this is really possible to
have warnings that cannot be solved, mostly because the patch itself
also has context of the code on it. However, in case those warnings
come from your bb files, classes, conf, ini or whatever, it would be
nice to be checked and fixed before pushing it.
