"Upstream only builds+tests with Clang and using GCC requires lots of

"I've heard the cool kids use Clang, so I changed my package to use
it, but I don't know what these compiler errors mean" is not a good
reason to switch if it just makes work for other people.
When there is a real advantage to using a particular compiler, I do
think it's good that packagers should be able to make an informed
choice.
I think we're actually largely in agreement.
Yep, I think so. My concern is just with the wording of the proposal,
not the intent.
I don't want change for change's
sake or because the cool developers use X Y or Z. I want the change to have a
real technical reason behind it.
