I wonder why the FreeBSD > project has any reason to follow them. I think you are going a bit too far, if you say "purely ideological", and "without any rational basis". The GPL V3 *is* different from V2, and anyone may have their own reasons for not agreeing with the diffs, just as with source code patches. :) That said, dependence on GNU gcc has always been bad, and it was always due to show up sometime. So now it does. Hopefully there will be some thought about alternatives.
