The idea is that security warnings are about situations that are dangerous at runtime. Whereas style warnings ensure certain coding conventions. So, a difference between style warnings and security warnings is that it makes sense to enable security warnings on an entire distribution, whereas style warnings can be enabled on specific projects. For coreutils you shouldn't enable all possible style warnings, since the coreutils contributors don't do beginner mistakes. Bruno
