-Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings can be issued very late from the 
optimizers, so this is very much a corner case in terms of usefulness 
for -Werror because it is practically guaranteed to have new false 
positives with unusual architectures, compiler versions, and 
optimization flags.

If the presence of this warning in particular leads people to use 
--disable-werror, maybe we should remove it from the default set of 
warnings which trigger errors.
