Tell that to the GCC (especially g++) developers who keep breaking backwards 
compatibility in the name of standards compliance. ;-)

The reason I don't like this proposed -Werror=format-security change is that 
it breaks compatibility and removes functionality, not just standards 
compliance for the sake of it.
