As stated on the Wiki, stuff in -Wcompat will often be non- actionable,
you omitted the important “if backwards compatibility is desired;”. The sometimes complicated hoops that you will have to jump through to gain 3-release-backward-compatibility are not something I expect every developer to follow, and for most others, “adjust early to API changes” will more likely be the sensible thing to do. Those might want to leave -Wcompat in their builds.
