[gst-devel] "maintainer mode" vs "cvs mode"

[Thomas Vander Stichele]

Agree with Dave here, always have, always will.  Projects that don't use
Werror tend to be lazy, tend to not get warnings fixed, and so on.
I want to *hear* from the ppc people when something is wrong, I don't
want them to ignore warnings.  I want to hear from more exotic
architectures as well.  I want them fixed as soon as they appear.  Our
code has become very clean in this regard, I went through quite some
pain at the time, I want to keep it this way.  I see no harm.
