| I think we should not build the non-core libs with -Werror. It makes
| perfect sense for the core libs where the ghc team effectively maintains
| them, but not for non-core ones.

But time *is* a core lib.  Similarly containers, pretty, filepath, directory...  The full list is below.

GHC is simply a client for these libraries.  Should they have -Werror or not? I'm not sure.

| It is for exactly this reason that hackage rejects packages that specify
| "ghc-options: -Werror"; new compiler warnings make old packages fail to
| compile. So there should not be many libraries affected (there are only
| one or two on hackage that use -Werror before we added the check to
| reject it). So the packages themselves don't specify -Werror. I assume
| it's just ghc's build system adds it for all libs, core and other.
