--- Comment #7 from Kostya Serebryany <kcc at gcc dot gnu.org> 2013-02-26 08:07:16 UTC --- Your comment #6 explains why I did not CC gcc lists to the clang discussion. :) There are too many strong opinions on both sides and I don't want to be an instigator of a holy war. I'd rather have incompatible syntax than spend weeks in non-productive emails. Also, we are not removing the old name, we are just documenting it as deprecated. Which means that it will stay there for some number of releases.
