I think we all do.  One thing we really need though is to get warnings 
showing up in the test result matrix again, until that happens it's going to 
hard for authors to fix warnings on compilers they may not have access to.

Right, but they're concentrating on gcc-only which makes life rather easier. 
MSVC in particular issues a lot of busy-body warnings that are sometimes 
hard or impossible to remove without resorting to #pragma's  :-(
