This is an approved by FESCo Fedora 29 change that needs to be done
before the mass rebuild, which is scheduled for the 11th (2 days from now).

2018-07-11 	Mass Rebuild

( see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/29/Schedule )

So, really the discussion time for this would have been best in March
when the change was discussed on list).

I don't see any chance at all that some other compiler will be default
in Fedora anytime soon. Fedora has a close and productive relationship
with gcc which I hope will continue. In the event years down the road
something changes, we can always just change the BuildRequires: gcc to
whatever we are switching to, or have that provide gcc or any other
number of things.
