I think that the concern is more with the model consumer, not
the developer. Any time I get a model that does not pass the
ibischk utility, my confidence in the model goes down. I
usually notify the model supplier that the model had some
warnings and ask for clarification as to why it does not
pass. Then I spend time examining the model in closer detail
to try to understand the warnings/errors. While this is a good
thing from the point of view that I become more knowledgeable about
the model, it is not a desired thing. I need to have confidence
that the models are accurate, and passing the ibischk utility
is the first step.
