Warnings are at the discretion of the compiler authors, and I expect
the list of "things you might want to be aware of" to continue growing
as compiler writers get more experience with new standards and new
users.
*Errors* are usually defined by the ANSI/POSIX/etc specifications (in
fact, some warnings are also *required* by ANSI).
My advice is to remove -Werror (and maybe -W -Wall) for official
distributions, to reduce the number of user complaints, but leave them
in for developers.
