Letting you know how to improve performance or avoid slow performance is helpful information, but it is not a "warning" - there is no danger here. And there is only one required argument.

It's the first step toward making the LIMIT argument non-optional.


It's a wrong warning message - and a really bad style WRT users.

BTW the intendet use case doesn't exist - as Tassilo found out.
Backward move is slow - a limit doesn't change that, while the intendet change would provide a burden for the programmer. Beside the change would break a lot of code.
