Please stop asking for instant gratification; you won't have it no matter how loud you yell. The Clang decision is far-reaching and gives numerous advantages to the FreeBSD platform. It's also not been a waste of time; you're implying that the FreeBSD devs have spent thousands of hours hacking away at Clang which is far away from the fact. We're simply building upon their work, testing Clang on the codebase (and finding bugs GCC was hiding!!), and reporting any issues upstream which get fixed very very quickly. If you want to recompile everything with lang/gcc (4.6.3) and the latest binutils go right ahead, but don't expect support when things go horribly pear-shaped.
