This current patch is a result of a continued set of compromises to try to satisfy a few in the vocal minority. I'd suggest that we all agree to have an ACTUAL decision made on llvm-dev, rather than this constant state of consensus derailed by vocal minority.

This *patch* does not matter to Google in any real sense that I'm aware of.... *All* of what I wrote in my latest comment is about this patch, and has nothing to do with the overall strategy of the LLVM project. And that feedback was given as a very active individual contributor to the project.

Does Google care a great deal about the overall state of host compiler support and C++ version support of LLVM? Yes, it does. We expressed that, and so did others. That was done on the -dev list as well as in the BoF. I'm not really interested in re-arguing it here.

But please try to take my feedback on this *patch* as just that. It is code review and feedback on the specific changes you are making. I'm genuinely trying to help get the CMake and documentation implementation *right* and useful for the project and the community, not for Google. I'm sorry that you're frustrated, I really am. But I am actually trying to help, and comments like this, IMO, are not constructive.
