But apparently the current way also allows that real bug go unnoticed
for a while, until somebody accidentially spots the warning in the
output of "make check". Wouldn't it be better to fail at CI time
already? If a merge of the file is required, you can still resolve that
manually (i.e. by rebasing one of the pull requests).
