That is not the case at all. This is the first time I see *any*
objection to the proposal in pr10368 (which Nick expanded in the
following post). That include the mailing list and discussion on the
dev meetings.

So from what I have seen there is as strong support as I have ever
seen for a change this big in LLVM.

Cheers,
Rafael
