If one recalls that we have --disable-werror and that disabling
-Werror would be >the default< on the 3.4 (or any) release branch once
it's created, I would agree that people are indeed panicking. See
step 12: http://gcc.gnu.org/branching.html
Nevertheless, I agree we should reattempt this later.
PS: Andreas, please change the attribution from me to you in the
ChangeLog. I thought I made it clear I wouldn't be able to act as
point person in case warning complaints came in but the attribution
makes it look like I was. Thanks.
