On a particularly critical package like a filesystem, wouldn't we want to still fail to install when a warning is encountered? > Also possible is to introduce FEATURES="strict-warnings" or similar, which > will cause the build to fail if warnings are encountered in a warningfree > ebuild. I guess this depends on whether warningfree is only used where -Werror would otherwise be used. Packages could presumably also warn users when installing without this feature set not to complain too much if our defaults destroy their data and to consider setting the flag... :) I get that users might quit if packages don't install, but I'm not sure that a filesystem corruption is going to make them any happier... -- Rich
