Can you elaborate what risks in terms of competitiveness or freedom
you foresee with the status quo? This is the first I recall hearing
of this concern.
I don't see a risk to freedom. The GNU toolchain is quite underfunded
compared to llvm/clang and IMO it's a major risk to maintain status quo
on that front. The GTI opens new avenues for funding aspects of the GNU
toolchain without affecting its core governance.
