That is the single least QA friendly thing I've ever heard uttered. By not just allowing but encouraging users to mix and match compiler and linker settings you make it entirely impossible to do proper QA on the software as things stand. We need a fixed point of reference to do our job. As someone with a lengthy past in the Gentoo world I will be happy to provide you a list of the kinds of bug reports that would cause but let's not embarrass anyone with the horror stories. If such a model was ever adopted in Fedora I would be the first to leave as it would make my continued contribution to the project impossibly hard, it's tough enough to keep up with the small area I have to do testing on already as it is. - David Nielsen
