I've been running a gcc-free system for a while, and I think all of the ports that don't build with clang are now explicitly depending on gcc.  Does anyone have strong opinions on when would be a good time for head on x86 and x86-64 to default to not building gcc?

The goal also as articulated at different forum, was for Tier 1 systems.  Tier 2 and 3 systems may use GPL code as a fallback if the non-gpl'd code doesn't work on those platforms.

All you said is reasonable and quite coincides with what I thought.

Unfortunately, it has very tangential relations to what is proposed to
do and to the political agenda declared in the message started the thread.

I am really tired of the constant struggle against the consumation of
the FreeBSD as the test-bed for the pre-alpha quality software. E.g.,
are we fine with broken C++ runtime in 9 ?
