   while i applaude ERRFLAGS operations, i do not like it because it forces   
   approved flags... even in "do nothing" mode the operator of said tool has to   
   deal with the so-called "errors"... U flags, in particular, were never   
   supposed to be "approved" and then there's the possibility of experimental   
   flags which generally start as U flags and then may be moved to non-U flags...   
   this then seems to become a political problem because some *C may not approve   
   of said flag while others might... thus we end up mixing politics with   
   technical aspects... this is not a GoodThing and it wasn't when ERRFLAGS   
   was introduced even though it gave the possibility of conformance it was and   
   has been used as a political tool instead of a technical tool...
