Well, yes - if SBD isn't actually fixed to USD then it has little function.. I think @ned was quoted as saying words to the effect that SBD isn't really so great for this reason. Personally, I would get rid of SBD - but as long as it exists, there's no need to have this conversion error in the system.

Well the current situation with conversions is not really an error - at least in my opinion. The blockchain rules say that if users convert 1 SBD, they will get "approximately one USD worth of STEEM". That is actually working, even today with the higher SBD prices. The problem is that users can get more than that, and by doing the conversion - they are missing out.
I understand your perspective, but I use the word error in such situations in the sense that even if the software matches the spec, there is an error from the perspective of the user and thus also an error in the thinking used to define the spec. User experience is the driver for functionality in a successful business system, as opposed to 'adherence to documentation'.
I am not in disagreement on that. The main reason I submitted the PR :)

Yes, a warning is the least we can do!
