I understand what you're saying and I think you make some good points, but I think what you're forgetting is, in Linus' eyes, gcc 4.9 was released without even being properly tested. If its showing errors from things that don't really matter, there could be MUCH worse consequences. Linus is on a timed schedule and his job depends on the reliability and consistency of the software he uses. While I think this was a serious over-reaction, he's not wrong.
