-Wall has become de-facto standard, and one of my roles over the last
decade or so has been to try to keep it that way (getting warnings taken
out of -Wall if they can't be suppressed without either excessive pain
or making the code worse).

That is, a large number of software projects, whether open source or
proprietary, use -Wall as well as the rule that -Wall be silent.
