Just add the appropriate code to filter that category of warnings. I think you have the option of two lines of Python code or one environment variable.

I can assure you that many users will not know how to do either of those things.

Not broken, just noisy.

Noisy *IS* broken!

In some ways it's one of the worst kinds of broken.  Working with libraries that import other libraries and trigger warnings that have nothing to do with MY code is super annoying.  I know this is a thorny question, since too-quiet means things don't change, and too noisy means users get warnings they are helpless to deal with.
