I can't speak for "any", but if the documentation warns about something
that is supposedly fixed, this is inconsistent.  Better to fix this
inconsistency sooner than later.  If it turns out a problem has not been
fixed _and_ will not be fixed with reasonable time and effort, one can
still bring the warning back as a _reaction_ to such a report and
analysis.  But things that will stay wrong if nothing exciting happens
are a mistake, uh, correction waiting to happen.
