I agree that receiving the same warning dozens of times is annoying,
but I appreciate small natural numbers: "One, two, three, infinity."
[a favorite book by George Gamow;

Particularly because I can see three tracebacks, I consider that
the amount of information grows with each warning, up to 3 times or so.
