Check isn't really meant to be run till it doesn't complain. There are
some things we can't really determine if they are in the right state or
not, so we just put them in the output. Not sure what we would do otherwise.
Perhaps have a way to disable selected warnings. something like some
compilers or lints allow pinpoint control of warnings.
Or perhaps easier for you and more general, have a configuration item in
the settings file that lets a user put in a set of regular expressions to
filter out before reporting.
I can understand where it's not considered a big deal, but to me it's like
compiler output - some people ignore warnings, but I like to have it
completely clean, because then it's trivial to spot real problems.
