[PATCH] D56819: Document toolchain update policy

[Hubert Tong via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

hubert.reinterpretcast added inline comments.


================
Comment at: docs/DeveloperPolicy.rst:677
+  * Update the :doc:`coding standards<CodingStandards>` to explicitly allow the
+    new features we've now unlocked.
+
----------------
The suggested wording implies that consensus for updating version requirements for some generic toolchains is consensus to update the set of language features to "whatever falls out of the support provided by those toolchain versions". I think that this step in the proposed process should instead be to identify the features that are now available by the minimum versions of the popular toolchains, and begin a discussion on what features we will start using.
