FWIW, I think this is very much like turning on -Wall -Werror when compiling. It will complain about things which aren't errors, but, *because they are not mechanically distinguishable from things that are errors*, they should be reported anyway. Removing a non-buggy circular dependency may be worthwhile for the same reason fixing non-bug compiler warnings may be worthwhile -- so that the real bugs aren't drowned out by the noise. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
