I'm wondering what everyone thinks of having a --nonag option to
repoman and shoving some of the more trivial/style-related repoman
'warnings' into a 'nag' level warning?  IIRC at least one of the QA
team members is so tired of the warnings that they want to make every
single one of them errors; the --nonag option would allow those
warnings to remain in repoman (ie to help guide new dev's or non-dev's
using repoman on their local repos) but since they don't relate to
actual technical breakage they can just be turned off during QA runs, etc.

Thoughts?
