One thing about -Wtraditional is that it enables a lot of different messages, so I always thought it would make more sense as an umbrella warning that just enables a bunch of sub-warning flags. While many of the individual sub-warnings may no longer be relevant, some of them might still be useful for reasons besides compatibility with traditional C.
