[Fpga-synth] RAM infer question

I'm trying to infer Xilinx distributed RAM by using the coding examples in
the language templates.  For distributed RAM, they show a block with a
single point where clocked writing to the selected location occurs and an
asynchronous read.

When I do this with my code, I don't get flipflops, I get INFO remarks that
the RAM will be implemented on LUTs because of the asynchronous reads.

I assume this remark is not a bad thing (not a warning, just an info) and I
can ignore it because I'm doing it on purpose? (these are small RAMs and I
don't want to target block RAM)

FPGA synth content: My project is a 32 NCO additive MIDI monosynth.
