The problem is that it's sometimes hard to *tell* if something depends on
overflow or not, especially in a large source base you don't know well.
(This is where the signed-overflow warnings will be *killingly* useful: I
for one plan to build a lot of packages with this turned on and fix every
instance I can find that looks problematic.)
