I think that remarks (I prefer the name) should not trigger -Werror;
most remarks should, in my opinion be things that indicate nothing is
wrong, and might in fact be helpful. A good example might be
suggestions for changes that would increase the optimizer's potential
(such as marking a variable as restrict). I suppose someone might
really want -Wremark-error, but that should be a separate flag.

As far as counting goes, I think that all remarks ought to be disabled
by default, so including them in the diagnostic count won't be much of
an issue.
