That's way too high!

We should really strive for zero warnings on common configs - otherwise we'll just 
drown in the noise of warnings, and people won't notice (and won't care about) new 
warnings.

With a zero warnings baseline on a reasonable default kernel config people can 
test for new warnings.

So if we still have 1,000 warnings, then it's more than a TODO - it's more like a 
MUSTFIX! :-)

Thanks,
