I reported this bug because I saw such code in use.

I do.  I *see* code making use of implicit int every day.

Who does ``we'' refer to?

Put bluntly, you have no right to decide what C code I see or write, or
what C code Alan wants to support.  Declarations consisting of only a
storage class specifier are part of the 1989 C Standard.

This bug is no more important than bug#59267, and both will have to be
fixed and stay fixed.
