FWIW, we're keeping it going forward (so it'll be in e.g. our GCC 14 patchset
when we unleash that on the masses). Just keep in mind that very few
distributions build with > release checking.

We only do default-checking for the branch when it's in development still and
also optionally via USE=debug. So, while testing by others is still valuable, I
don't expect you'll get that much - at least without people specifically
knowing to turn on checking and ensure stuff doesn't break.

(Of course, making sure release checking works fine now too is important, but
you get my point.)
