The mentioned software development freedom is restricted if you would like to provide source code that is compliant to the (current) C standard.
The C compiler is the final judge, I'd guess.
If the source files do not completely adhere to the programming language rules, I find that the trust in the functionality of the corresponding compilation result will be reduced.
In which way?
There is no point to do that, and backwards compatibility requires to keep that as it is.
I imagine that there are still opportunities to fix rule violations incrementally. How do you think about to introduce additional preprocessor macros?
For what purpose?
