I don't object to adding the category to display-buffer-alist.  I
object to using that as a means to control what warnings.el does.  In
particular, as I already pointed out, some warnings don't pop up a
window with a special buffer, so if the users use display-buffer-alist
for controlling warnings.el, they will be disappointed in some cases.

Adding hundreds of separate options indeed doesn't make sense, but I
suggested to add just one.  In addition:

  . you haven't addressed my comments that currently we don't even
    document that warnings.el uses display-buffer (and neither do I
    think we _should_ document that);
  . you haven't explained what kind of behavior change would you like
    to make in how warnings.el displays the warnings, without which
    I'm not even sure I understand the intended change of behavior
