I am in favor of having the warnings fully configurable. Obviously if you do not know an area well you can't decide whether a waterway crossing should be a bridge, culvert or a ford and should not be bothered with such warnings. And I am thinking this warning should be off by default because it is one of the most frequently useless warnings that I know. File tickets for the JOSM validator whenever you think the validator could be improved or otherwise fine tuned. Other warnings otoh should be added. There are many instances of tunnel=culvert without a layer and almost all of them were accidental errors - someone added the culvert to the wrong segment of the way. As of the bridges, the editing software could make it a lot easier to create them. Currently its quite many manual steps to insert a bridge properly and I think there would be a demand to have a plugin or whatever doing it easier.
