I think it basically boiled down to the fact that
svn_config_get_config() is called directly by main(). There is no
client context at that point. So, if we want to dump a warning we need
to do it from main() of the client (and yes, every client would have to
do the same if they want the same behavior). Otherwise, we could clear
the error and return an empty configuration silently. The down side is
that you don't get a warning. The upside is that everyone benefits. We
could also add a callback, rev the api, and provide a warning that way.
  But it hardly seems worth the effort.

I think that's where we're at for the moment.
