The aim is to allow people a couple of weeks to recompile binaries
ALL pre-existing binaries will have
the problem. (until recompiled, or until the shared libs are replaced.)
why generate 10,000 errors when they are not needed?
otherwise we'll get hit by complaints we needn't see, and they will
MASK the real problems.

I will turn it off and back it out..
In a short while.
in the meanwhile, it's just breathing room for the transition.
