I'm in strong agreement with Chandler here. I am not against the warning, that's probably harmless, I can even go with the "rough guideline of 3 years", even though I don't see much benefit to it since it won't affect the process much.

However I'd like to see language inserted here to mention what Chandler described (the three points) about the process for dropping any toolchain from our supported list. I would also add that the process should include an RFC thread on the LLVM-dev and CFE-dev mailing lists.
