are you sure? I thought conformance required deprecated features
to be allowed
In particular, for a product like gcc it means a switch
like --no-deprecated-features can be added and then
used by a client without risking 'all bets are off
since the compiler isn't conforming'.
You can always add any switch to do anything, the standard only
requires that there be a mode that is conformant.
