I see broken dependencies with modular X as much more important than
most things repoman warns about now: trailing whitespace, spaces instead
of tabs, etc. So it merits more than they get. Jason's idea of a flag
makes sense to me, because it should require some effort to avoid
porting; it shouldn't be as easy as just not reading warnings.
