Well, you are not supposed to introduce warnings while coding :)  
That's one of the reason why I want to force usage of -Werror by  
default. Careless developer would have to be forced to fix their  
warnings.

No. Breaking the buildbot is not a problem as we can easily fix them  
afterwards. Anyway the plan would be to enable -Werror on linux/osx  
(ie: Where it works without too much troubles).
