Of course, turning on this sort of behaviour wouldn't have the kind of
impact a few posters on this issue think it would, since most of the
breakage I've seen is caused by untested commits. When I say untested, I
mean they've not been tested in a ``make world''.

-Werror certainly won't make it any less likely that committers will
break world.  All it gains is a better elevated perspective on bugs that
might have otherwise only surfaced later.

I know that's all that you (Peter) wanted, I just wanted to make sure
this was cleared up for those who sounded during the last round of this
thread as though they expected to gain a less frequently broken world.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
