Putting on my user hat, I would have to disagree.

At EMC we build with '-Wall -Werror' and do not get pissed off by
-Wuninitialized.  Historically, -Wuninitialized does not generate
a lot of false positives in our code.

I get upset when a new warning is added to -Wall, it generates noise,
and there's no way to turn it off.  But, let's not have that
discussion today.
