I agree.

I have (unsuccessful) try to post a similar mail in the fpc pascal
list.

But what do you mean with published methods? The published section is
intended only for properties, which should be published in the object
inspector. I guess you mean event methods. Beside event methods,
callback functions and virtual methods could be affected too.

My main problem, if I hide the hint by using

{$HINTS OFF}
...
{$HINTS ON}

I remove all useful hints as well.
