We're not really, he made them after being asked not to. It's up to
individual libraries' maintainers whether they want to use them. IMO
what we should do with modules where no one is dealing with changes on
develop (all of them, not just Stephen Kelly's) is revert them in
develop and create feature branches so that we can get master and
develop in sync, but keep a record of the outstanding changes.

Although In this case, I had a look at the changes while I was merging
the warning fixes and they seemed fine (interestingly, there's a
comment about gcc 3.4 that they remove which doesn't seem to match
what the code does). I don't think anyone is opposed to removing
support for these versions of GCC and Visual C++.
