I agree it wouldn't be a good thing for GNOME atm precisely because other people that have no interest in fixing even the most obvious of these would not be able to build GNOME. However, I think once a project has made the effort to do this cleanup once, I think it's fine to enable this on CVS builds, to not let that effort go to waste. Why ? Quite simply because we still do not have access to all platforms we want to build on easily. It'd be great if Sun would provide some solaris machines for easy access, and people have tried repeatedly in the past, but until that day comes I want a solaris user to tell me about any possible problems with the code. And they quite simply won't do so unless it gives them a problem. I think that's great. Same goes for a whole bunch of other platforms. I think it's sad that a lot of chunks in GNOME only get very rare testing on Solaris, and most of it when it is too late to do anything about it. In the end, I am pleased my gut feeling on this is supported by Luis' experience with our build. It makes me feel all fuzzy inside.
