Or, more icidiously, a warning which only shows up on some versions of
mono / .net, and not others.  You'll get a lot of people running around
trying to figure out why it doesn't compile on their platform, and it
turns out there is an old or new warning that we didn't handle right
because we didn't have their tools.

I'm all for reducing warnings, and beating people up when they introduce
new ones (like the prolog parser, which as SOOOOO MANY WARNINGS).  But
warnings as errors would probably slow us down a lot at this point.  It
would also hamper checking in code that doesn't yet do anything, but
doesn't break the tree, as a way to get feedback from people.

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
