you omitted the important “if backwards compatibility is desired;”. The
sometimes complicated hoops that you will have to jump through to gain
3-release-backward-compatibility are not something I expect every
developer to follow, and for most others, “adjust early to API changes”
will more likely be the sensible thing to do. Those might want to leave
-Wcompat in their builds.

Greetings,
Joachim
