>> Warnings often indicate real problems.

In this case, the real problem should be fixed - no matter whether it causes
a warning or not on compilers we care about. We already know how to do this.
There is no need to have a "warning policy" to fix bugs (I hope!)

A "warning policy" is only needed for warnings that do not indicate real
problems.
