How many people am I harming?

I just did a quick test with lichess, and was surprised to see a bunch of updates. They have -rewrite turned on! And "unused imports" now offers a rewrite. Fortunately, the rewrite is impeccable and offends no one with style choices.

But it makes me aware that trying to be helpful can be harmful. Who else am I hurting? or is it whom else?

I'm pleased that lichess has the warnings turned up to 11. I think it includes patvars and params. Talk about opinionated!

But for rewrite they may have expected only the migration fixes. Scala 2 has a "release notes" label for PRs that should be highlighted for their impact. Oh, I see we have that in Scala 3 (TIL). My question was going to be something about not knowing whether a PR will land on LTS, so there's a degree of uncertainty (or freedom) about what versions will be "impacted" or how large the impact crater will be. Some people are "creators", others of us are "impact creators".

    "-rewrite",
    "-source:3.7-migration",
    // "-indent",
    "-feature",
    "-language:postfixOps",
    "-Wunused:all",

No harm at all(at least for us)!

We're living in the edge and we know it. sometime we hit some bug or faced some very annoying/tricky (breaking) changes but overall we're very happy with Scala 3 and appreciated all of effort that made scala 3.

I'm personally, much appreciated all work that @som-snytt has done, most of them (that I'm aware of) are very practice and much needed for day to day working with scala 3.
