That's a lot of work to remove a harmless warning that could be handled as an
errata.

It's not relevant to stable/13, stable/14, nor main.

A direct commit is easy, but then we have to write the EN, and do the
administrative work to get it pushed out in a lot of places. All for removing a
warning that doesn't matter. That's the wrong approach. It's a lot of energy
that the project should instead put towards making the actual updating of the
ESP robust. There have been actual bugs, with actual hardware that cause panics
that haven't been ENs, so it seems like this is "jumping the line" in a big
way. ENs should be simple and easy (and if they were I'd say go for it). But
they aren't: they are difficult and have way too much overhead.

Just my HO. We should just close this and move on.
