It's still a dev thing, but just for a slightly different use-case. I hack my patches up with DEVELOPER=1, and then eventually deploy a patched git version with those (and others) on top of the latest release tag. At that point I want the same compiler assertions, but might be building on much older compilers, so I just want the warning output without -Werror. Anyway, I see you've pushed a new version with DEVOPTS. I'll submit mine on top of that once your new version lands (unless you want to try to integrate it yourself).
