The reason is, that almost all additional warnings that occurred in
epan and wiretap have been fixed, and that it is noticably less work
when the people who work on a file get things "right" immediately.
The -pedantic will have to go back into the extra warnings once
libethereal contains the dissection stuff.

I guess you are asking this question for a specific reason. Are you
seeing lots of additional warnings? If so, which ones and how many?
In case we cannot reasonably get rid of most of them, then yes, things
should be done as they were done before I move the -pedantic stuff.
It's just that I'd like to read about the specific reasons :)

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
