That was rms' choice, many years ago.  Even with @finalout, he wanted to
see warnings, so he'd know where the output would be suboptimal. 

If you really want to silence all warnings, try this:

@tex
\global\hfuzz=\maxdimen
\global\hbadness=10000
@end tex

(These parameters will not affect the typeset output.)

  The default value of INDENT is 5.

That's the setting for makeinfo.   I'll see about fixing the doc,
somehow.  Thanks for mentioning it.
