Isn’t Illumos and OpenIndiana doing the same?

I still remember someone at Sun commented they treated warnings as errors. This is how software should be developed.

The feature is only on SPARC, not x86. Oracle killed in-house SPARC development in 2017, and they abandoned OpenSPARC after they acquired Sun, so it's effectively a dead architecture. The software won't work without the hardware to run it on.
