I'm ok with --disable-warnings-as-errors, it makes no implication on the
developer just because they run a non-normative system.
In terms of the rest of the patch, when I reviewed it last time, the
remaining patches were those that traded style or clarity for a warning,
or were not totally obvious as to what the change was. I need to look
over it again, naturally.
Taken one at a time, the cure often feels worse than the illness but I
also accept that while these cases are not bugs, warnings can find bugs.
I also agree that the most subtle bugs lurk in code that *looks* correct
and sensible, and that warnings are too often overlooked.
I certainly hope we can work something out here, so that we both improve
our code and prevent regressions.
