As a QA -nazi- enthusiast I would be all in favour of a solution where warnings
are always shown but the -Werror switch can be turned off. My proposition to
have both was simply to avoid removing existing functionality.
In the case of Gentoo (which is my focus), the nature of the distro ^1^ makes
displaying warnings a key part of diagnosing everyday installation problems.
^1^ packes installed by building from source, bleeding-edge versions of all

> It could be useful in some situations (eg: when packaging/installing) to be
> able to disable warnings as errors in the build. This is the recommendation
