Good softwaredesign dictates "Be conservative in what you do, be liberal 
in what you accept from others". Calling that a waste of time is IMHO 
not a good standpoint.
Especially since in this case you do not fix anything. As said many 
times, anyone can add a FIXME tag to the data and then you would again 
overlook it. Until the next automated edit comes around and "fixes" the 
FIXME tags.
