That's not what I said though? Not supporting one compiler, on an OS that's effectively not being developed anymore, with a pretty indefensible behaviour, requiring not insignificant work by everyone, isn't the same as standardizing on gcc. I mean, we obviously are going to continue at the absolute very least gcc, llvm/clang and msvc. Greetings, Andres Freund
