Message #8 received at 13061 <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
1. I really hope this regression gets fixed soon. It's quite annoying that
redefining a function does not cancel `debug-on-entry' for it.
2. Wrt the recent abuse by Emacs Dev of the term "Warning": Think about the
terms they use for hurricanes and such, situations which are FAR more serious
than what Emacs has to deal with:
a. The first level of making people aware is called an "Advisory".
b. "Warning" is used only for a much higher level involving imminent danger.
The equivalent of "advisory" wrt documentation is generally "Note", "Notice", or
"Attention". You are just drawing attention to a statement, without a
connotation of danger.
Emacs doc should stop being so alarmist, generally. And in the case of this
bug, it is downright perverted to "warn" about a positive feature.
