I would like to know a bit more about this. Is our list of supported
toolchains so diverse that building with one version versus another will
report so many false positives as to be useless?
I enabled warnings-as-errors on my local machine after pushing something
to inbound that failed to build because of this, and I've had no
problems since then. Enabling this by default seems like an easy way to
remove instances of this problem.

So there are instances where developers didn't use the try servers and
also didn't compile locally at all before pushing to inbound? I don't
think we as a community should be okay with that kind of irresponsible
behavior.
