Did you see this part of the comment?

That means changing the compilation flags, that usually means changing the
build system, and the build system usually is in the VCS, and makes no sense to
either changing the build system all the time each time something is
depracated, or having to ignore changes in the build system, because some
change might have to be really committed.

And sometimes changes are not trivial at all.

Anyway, I can understand that you don't want to add more options (well, not
really, but I can accept it, is not that I have an option anyway :), but
believe me, there are other valid and good workflows, I don't think the
compiler should force the developers to use a particular workflow for this.
