Ok.

I generally prefer "do one thing and do it well" and KISS. So my take on 
that problem was that if there were some messages which shouldn't 
influence the exitcode then they should be disabled the usual way. 
Adding options for controlling which messages are fatal adds user 
interface complexity without adding real functionality.

(Disclaimer: I haven't seen your change - apparently you haven't pushed 
it yet.)
