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.
