Until we see that several people have had benefit if W=... we should leave it as is now.
Then when people really start to use if we can refine it.
IMO it is much more important to find the right sub-set of warnings to keep on W=1 level than how we see additional warnings.
There may well be warnings where we say that the benefit of it is zero - or it is plain wrong in the kernel. Lets try to focus on this.
