In one way, if we say we "support" compilerA, we should have a buildbot running with it on the platforms we say we support it. But in the other way, if we don't have such a buildbot, than we could even say we "don't care", which is a bit harsh.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">So, while I agree we should track all compilers, I think that the people that are interested in keeping support for their preferred compilers should be the ones adding the buildbots, or there would be less arguments for keeping support for those compilers. Pretty much how it happens with untested, unsupported features and back-ends.</div>
