Well, wouldn't you agree that developers should be able to read

If a project has more than a screen-full of "harmless" warnings, then
it's very easy to miss when a serious one slips in. I prefer -Werror so
that nothing gets by, all warnings must be considered. It's not that
much of a burden after you first get to a warning-free build.
I could see the argument that this approach belongs in upstream
development, not so much distro packaging. I still think it's useful to
know that any patches applied are warning-free too though.
