Yes, that is exactly my point.  In my world, users like to be able to 
get warnings for a release, while they fix things.  This let's them 
file codegen bugs sooner, as their projects compile sooner, it lets me 
do more testing, as I can compile their projects, instead of having 
those project fail to build...
