-Werror is useful to devs when actively working on code, but using it in
released production code to be used in packages is plain st***.

You are developing with upstream and are using Fedora a test bed.
This is unlike the situation many packages are in.
For these, all -Werror does is to raise in most case negligible warnings
to errors and to causes FTBFS for negligible reasons, such indentation,
unused vars or other stylishness.
This shows especially in situations like now, when gcc received a major
update starts to raise _warnings_ for a new set of issues, and -Werror
enabled are going to FTBFS in masses.
In other words: WARNINGS are warnings and not errors for a reason.
