I'm more concerned about the first impression that people will get from

through the cracks with -Wimplicit-fallthrough=1 , so be it.
Yes. Better to give mostly sensible warnings, making people aware of the
option and maybe encouraging to try higher levels, rather than
generating a huge amount of noise which will result in some people
turning the warning off, some making pointles or even incorrect changes
to their code (as we saw in gcc itself), and generating bad publicity.
