This is not the first time this has come up.
In fact this was done on purpose back in 1998:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/1998-12/msg00137.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-07/msg01060.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-10/msg00680.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-09/msg01200.html

etc.

Also the first change listed on :):
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.95/c++features.html

" * Messages about non-conformant code that we can still handle ("pedwarns")
 are now errors by default, rather than warnings.  This can be reverted
 with -fpermissive, and is overridden by -pedantic or -pedantic-errors."

So I don't think this was a mistake or a bug at all.  It was on
purpose for sure.
