If you try to submit a request about -Wall, you get a real time search that shows related requests and how they had been dismissed (in my opinion too summarily). That has a dissuading effect to filing another request of the same type. So, you might come to the conclusion you do not get enough, but because you have a system in place to dissuade such request. It is a system for self-fulfulling prophecy. > I think if we would > they would outnumber the requests for the opposite. I don't know about that :-)
