Enabling such checks in Rawhide is the way we do things. For example,
I saw applications failing with:

***MEMORY-WARNING***: [3894]: GSlice: g_thread_init() must be called before all other GLib functions; memory corruption due to late invocation of g_thread_init()

There is simply nothing unusual or unexpected about it.

Now you're just being unfriendly about it by finding ways to defeat
a helpful check instead of adding the missing mode. What point are
you trying to prove by doing this?
