Bug 236192 is full of hacks. Before upstreaming more people need to dogfood
libc++ 8. Proper fixes are likely to be invasive e.g., "version" file used =
in
many places, sloppy <...> vs. "..." usage and stalled (inactive upstream).

However, even with easy -Werror fixes upstreaming is a time-consuming proce=
ss
as it requires engaging in whatever flavor of the day bugtracker, workflow,
codestyle, contributor agreement, etc. they use. Port maintainers are better
positioned to accomplish that than random ports/ committers which may quick=
ly
burn out. For one, I'm already busy preparing for Boost 1.70 (bug 235956) a=
nd
ICU 64 to care about upstreaming for ports that I don't even use.
