Hmm ... I started reclassifying these as category ';change request' as a very low priority issue, but perhaps others feel different

I think Patrick's bugs are real bugs - compiler warnings exist for a reason. Clean code bases lead to real risks being noticeable immediately, as opposed to skulking silently until causing weird errors or security problems.

Having these listed as bugs can also lead to people putting in bug fixes, getting them involved. I don't know the odds of that actually happening, but it's a good idea in principle(?) - the only risk is a small amount of code bloat where things like

  // avoid compiler warning for pre-allocating spare ivar
  i = 0;

would pop into quite a few classes. The more useful cases might include resolving the security warnings about dangerous tmpnames etc. I personally think that isn't a bad thing.
