--- Comment #8 from Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro at redhat.com> ---
So the commit message of 283685 at main indicates that RefPtrAllowingPartiallyDestroyed is only used when a human has decided it's OK. I don't know whether GCC knows better than the human or not. Of course compilers are generally smarter than humans, but this particular warning really is half-baked. That said, this code also looks very risky.

Since the problem is surely fixed on the main branch, what I would do is suppress the warning only on the stable branch. (We could alternatively try backporting 283685 at main and 284164 at main, though I'm not sure whether that's a good idea.)
