By "stuff," I assume Paul meant "libraries," as in "no new libraries accepted into Boost unless warning free." That's fair, if it is established and known before a review begins.
Currently, we don't even require that a library builds on any specific compilers, let alone warning free. What you're suggesting adds a considerable burden on a developer - which is particularly unfair if the library is eventually rejected. Implementation issues can be fixed after the review and, in this case, I would hope it would be with the help of the boost community. http://www.boost.org/development/requirements.html#Portability
