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.
