I voted no because I see it as a pointless warning because that's not how Bitcoin security should be viewed.

The way I see it is that if there is even a small possibility of reversing a public key to get the private key, and we still haven't migrated to a resistant protocol (a hard fork), then Bitcoin will have had become obsolete!
That means the warning you are talking about is either pointless (meaning it is impossible to reverse pubkey and reusing your address doesn't put you at any risk) or it is not a warning (bitcoin is already over and you shouldn't even be using it anymore).
