It is not the size of the source file discussed here, but the size of
the resulting binary. This tends to be bigger and slower because of the
additional assignment.

Personally I don't care. I know what -Wall means, and how picky
compilers are then. System administrators should know this, too,
consider this as an extra service of the developer and assume that
the developer saw and checked the warning.

POSIX/ANSI conformance warnings aren't that important, and I guess
several installers verify the source that variables are indeed
initialized.
