Exactly! I still urge core to lay out a clear plan. And don't forget to indicate the acceptance criteria to be met for each step! [Not to add bureaucracy but to ensure that nothing falls through the cracks] Can't speak for others but I am very appreciative of all the work put in enthusiastically by Roman and others to get clang into FreeBSD. Exciting to have a real alternative to gcc!
