Likewise. The annoying part is that this behavior changed in a Kindlegen update a couple of years ago, and warnings that used to be ignored, resulting in a zero exit code, now result in kindlegen returning 1, thus requiring Makefile changes. I forget when that happened—maybe between 1.x and 2.x.
There's also no real notion of severity for warnings, nor the ability to ignore specific types of warnings that aren't really important, making the separate exit status for warnings much less useful than it otherwise would be.
