Why not make FreeBSD better for everyone by cooperating with the CLANG project?

because we already have great compiler - GCC. In spite of using GPL licence.

GCC performs well, but it is a very messy undocumented codebase which makes maintaining it a nightmare. Just ask Google -- you'll find many others saying the same thing. It would take MORE work to get FreeBSD devs up to speed on the GCC codebase to add the features we want than it is to cooperate with the CLANG community and help them make their compiler better than GCC in every test case.
