I'd strongly oppose it. I could OTOH accept a policy that Emacs packages
should not output any warning when compiled with the Emacs version that they
come with.
We are more or less aiming for that, with the help of with-no-warnings
(which I added for this purpose), and we have removed nearly all of
the warnings that we used to have. However, there are a few warnings
that are rather hard to remove. And a few files use obsolete
constructs for backward compatibility.
As mentioned, for your original problem, the byte-compiler was fixed so it
doesn't generate a warning for this code any more. For that particular
problem, it is *the* clean way to fix the warning. If you want to eliminate
the warning without allowing yourself this clean fix (e.g. by insisting
dogmatically that all warnings must go, even when compiling with some older
byte-compiler), you'll end up with uglier and less maintainable code.
I agree with you.
