Oh please, not that thing again. I've commented on this many times,
and this warning is just bogus. Initialisation override is a necessity,
and working around this warning leads to something that is far less
maintainable, and thus more *dangerous* than this.

I really wish this warning was simply turned off, because it only
leads to the robot emails to be ignored do to the number of false 
positives.
