Calling that a bikeshed misses the point of bikesheds. :-) I can't imagine that anyone is arguing for switching the default compiler to clang any time soon. The goal of the current exercise is to provide infrastructure and increase exposure. An entirely seperate set of decisions will be required to (perhaps) throw the following switches: - Make clang the default bootstrapping compiler (i.e., build kernel+world with it) on supported architectures. - Make clang the default ports build compiler. - Install clang as cc.
