Whatever the official position is, it should be documented in
/etc/make.conf, and warnings should be exceptionally clear and the
potential consequences laid out as being exceptionally dire, if one
was so "adventurous" as to enable them by default for all compiles or
to enable them for the process of making the kernel.

only going to be "So don't do that, you moron!"
