That can't be expected to continue now that there are many employers hiring people and forbidding them from working on GCC, even in their own time, while permitting them to work on LLVM. I'm not just spreading sour news for the sake of it, here is an example of where I ran into this impeding a GCC crash bug: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50335#c8 (Though it will be quite ironic when LLVM becomes unusable to everyone because the "we don't give up our patent rights for this when we contribute to it" turns it into a thicket) -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
