The obvious counterargument to this is that if you disagree with a 
warning, you should disable it.  There's no point in the compiler 
generating warnings if you're just going to ignore them, piles of bogus 
warnings only make it more difficult to find the warnings you actually 
care about.

I've recently started experimenting -Werror, mainly because my build 
process produces so much output that I'm likely to miss warnings 
entirely if I don't treat them as errors.  The obvious problem with this 
approach is third party libraries that produce warnings, which is all 
the more reason for library authors to to keep their libraries 
completely warning-free.
