Yes, I understand that that is the current design, and I'm asking whether
this could be adjusted. Do we lose anything by the proposed change to the
policy, other than authors who want 3-release -Wall-clean code adding an
extra flag? (Or maybe I just didn't understand you - are you saying that
introducing new warnings are not a bottleneck for any changes?)
