Ah, then I hereby urge FESCo to finally reject this for real. The mailing
list feedback was overwhelmingly negative last time this was brought up.
That's not a fair characterization of the discussion. There were
concerns raised, but I wouldn't say it was "overwhelmingly negative"
It is a distribution choice which compiler produces the best results for the
distribution (best optimization, highest security, etc.). If that compiler
is GCC, then why would we want to build packages with Clang, unless there is
no other way? (Or if Clang is really better, then why do we not build the
whole distribution with Clang? But as far as I know, GCC is still the better
compiler overall, so there is no point in switching.)
There are cases where Clang is the better choice and other cases where
GCC is the better choice. The upstream projects are in the best
position to make such decisions for their projects and the Fedora
maintainers are in the best position to bring that decision into Fedora.
