I'll put out a full summary of the summit by early next week, but=20
the short version is that by adding clang to the base system we get two
benefits:
1) Testing becomes trivial for people using current. (We'll follow
adding it to the base with making bootstrap option.)
2) We send a strong signal about our direction. If this is going to
work we need a lot of people to work on and making it clear to our
corporate partners and their vendors is important.

P.S. Related to this, Warner is engaged in a parallel effort to add
external toolchain support. No matter how things turnout, this is a
critical effort to allow better support of cutting edge hardware.
