The part of this that applies to troff(1) is a duplicate of Savannah #47784, according to Bertrand's commit 8ca41399a2449fe5d619a6edd292c127c891f4e7 (28 August).

Forgot to add "minus vervatim minus" at the end of patch for the web-page

Actually all warnings should be enabled by default; the current default
choice is simple an illusion, telling people everything is o.k., when it
actually is not always the case.

This is also a contradiction, maintainers have created warnings, and yet
silence them (no free speech, must be extra asked for).

How do people already know that every input they use is already free of
errors, bad constructs etc.

Does your experience proof that every man-page (source file) is free of
everything that "groff" is constructed to warn about?

Is this philosophy "all warnings are equal but some are more equal than
others", a good one, a fundamental one, a paradigm in computer science?
