I don't think there is much merit to this argument.
First, it's not like the ability to make diagnostics halt the
build is something specific to Warnings. Just pass -de and use of
deprecated symbols will halt compilation too. (Actually, not
passing -de would lead to a funny
error(Warning)->warning(Deprecation)->error(Error) progression
right now.)
Second, if I'm using "-w", I'm typically interested in errors if
I write fishy code, not because some third-party library I just
updated made a small change to its API. I don't see where the
advantage would be in conflating the two things.
