One thing that caught my eye

@@ -322,6 +323,8 @@ byte-compile-warnings
   make-local  calls to make-variable-buffer-local that may be incorrect.
   mapcar      mapcar called for effect.
   constants   let-binding of, or assignment to, constants/nonvariables.
+  docstrings  docstrings that are too wide (no longer than 80 characters,
+              or `fill-column', whichever is bigger)
   suspicious  constructs that usually don't do what the coder wanted.

Should 'no' maybe be removed? (if to tell something that should not be).
