What do you mean at most? level 0 is the warning disabled, that is the

I think level 0 has to be on the table for -Wextra as well, depending on
the signal-to-noise ratio of level 1.
Collapsing 3-5 levels is a bad idea, various projects will want to only
rely on attributes, especially if other compilers only support attributes
and nothing else, which is why there is level 5. Levels 4 and 3 give choice
on how much free form the comments are.
But I think the data we have points towards that being a meaningless
choice. So maybe I got the levels wrong and 2-4 is what we should be
collapsing.
Another thing, was it ever resolved what this warning does to tools like
ccache which like to operate on preprocessed files?
We already have 2 real-world PRs about cases like:
Yeah. Another reason why I think level 0 (i.e. off) should be seriously
considered for -Wextra.
