It's unclear what you're disagreeing with here as the below response
doesn't seem to discuss the question about if these issues were brought
up and pointed out previously, nor about if I was the one who raised
them, nor about if we're towards the end of the release cycle.

No, that isn't the point of the controversy nor does it relate, at all,
to what you quoted above, so I don't think there's much value in
responding to the discussion about WARNING or not that you put together
below.
Thanks,
