I suggest to remove the "-w" switch from the list of dmd/ldc2
switches, and later to remove that functionality too. It's
better to keep only the informational warnings.
I keep seeing people in D.learn that miss warnings because they
don't active them, so I suggest to activate informational
warnings on default.
And then I suggest to add a switch to disable the warnings, for
the rare situations where you don't want them.

I've been using D heavily for well over a year now and I've never
used -w (facepalm)
That's good anecdotal evidence that it should be opt-out not
opt-in.
Brb... Recompiling all my code with -w to find out my stupid
mistakes :p
