Re coreutils we already have different warnings,
specifically a subset of warnings are used with gnulib.

gnulib is necessarily more general/portable than a particular project,
and so could not be as generally stringent in its warnings I think.
Also a new project has more flexibility to enable a stricter set
from the start, than a mature code base like gnulib.
