--- Comment #11 from Ketmar Dark <ketmar at ketmar.no-ip.org> ---
but why? it's not the compiler task to babysit old and broken code, it's
lint(dfix) task. removing that burden from compiler allows alot more
possibilities, as compiler code stays clean, and dfix can accumulate alot of
checks, allowing easy fixing the code even from the very old compiler release
with step-by-step upgrading.

i'm far from saying that nothing should be done. actually, i'm saying the exact
opposite thing: it's time to bless dfix and bundle it with compiler package, so
people can upgrade to new compiler versions without much pain.
