FWIW, I personally support the proposal. Regarding the huge discussion that ensued, I would just like to point out that the proposal is put forward by people from organizations which are huge users of GCC and know perfectly well the transition will be painful and yet are prepared face it, for reasons that were nicely explained by Florian. AFAIK, we at SUSE share the sentiment. [...] > Regarding mechanics of the necessary opt out facility, Clang used > -Werror=… by default, but that seems a bit hackish to me.
