I'm not saying that I think the ones that are oft-reported are
harmful. I'm saying that they ought to be fixed so that when harmful
ones do show up it's easier to spot them.

FWIW, I had an experience similar to the OP. I have several LORs that
show up every time I boot which I try to ignore. However, I recently
had a problem with my current laptop NFS mounting my 6-stable file
server. There was a LOR in there somewhere, but I couldn't tell if it
was one of the "usual" ones, or if it was relevant. As we get closer
to the 8-release slushie and start asking people to do serious
debugging this issue is going to make that more difficult.
