Sorry, I like a lot of your ideas but I'm with the others on this one. |

I have, on the rare occasion, used these flags for various reasons. |

They don't do any harm for the majority not using them. If someone does |
| 10 |
encounter issues through using them then they are free to deal with |
| 11 |
those themselves. Better that than not even having them available in |
| 12 |
the first place. They are welcome to provide fixes where necessary and |
| 13 |
maintainers are equally welcome to drop these flags as they see fit. |
| 14 |
Such a decision should not be forced upon maintainers. |
