That's completely understandable and very well justified. My nature is |
| 9 |
to ponder upon extended functionality for tools that I come across as |
| 10 |
such I contribute to the thought pool occassionally. I completely agree |
| 11 |
that excess optimisation over the default can make the system and its |
| 12 |
components more problem prone and that this has repercussions upon the |
| 13 |
administrative staff. Perhaps as a lesson to be learnt without making |
| 14 |
the mistake first new users can be introduced to the hazards of |
| 15 |
optimisation through appropriate documentation which does not exist at |
| 16 |
the moment. |

It was once said in GWN that a safe and supported set of CFLAGS will be |
| 19 |
declared officially and that use of those CFLAGS will be a prerequisite |
| 20 |
to obtaining support in the case of problems. With the initial release |
| 21 |
of genflags and reassurance of its continued development into a mature |
| 22 |
product the community has moved one step closer of two steps in reaching |
| 23 |
that goal. The next step is to compile a list of CFLAGS for all |
| 24 |
architecture and publish them for adoption and conformance. Once this |
| 25 |
has been done, bugzilla can depend upon their use in order to debug |
| 26 |
problems. |

With regards. |
