Sorry, I like a lot of your ideas but I'm with the others on this one. I have, on the rare occasion, used these flags for various reasons. They don't do any harm for the majority not using them. If someone does encounter issues through using them then they are free to deal with those themselves. Better that than not even having them available in the first place. They are welcome to provide fixes where necessary and maintainers are equally welcome to drop these flags as they see fit. Such a decision should not be forced upon maintainers. -- James Le Cuirot (chewi) Gentoo Linux Developer
