  So you don't want their bug reports when
  their particular configuration (that the
  Qt developers may not have tested) doesn't
  work without producing warnings?

Because those non-developers aren't developing Qt, and may not have
the capability to fix warnings, if they arise. They just want to build
Qt and use it.

Developer builds are another matter entirely, and I don't think anyone
would honestly be against an attempt to enable -Werror, though it's a
big job.
