Not very hard, anyway.

I suppose "superfluous" is in the eye of the beholder. I find the C-x
# message a useful reminder (because I really rarely use emacsclient
without --no-wait), and it seems like a newbie-oriented message

I think both messages and warnings should have a customizable way to
filter them out (with several criteria, from the very text of the
message/warning to categories, etc). For warnings that already exists
through the severity level, though it is pretty coarse.
