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.

"First, do no harm." But apparently that is just a slogan. See the oath.
