I may have misunderstood, but I figured that Doug is suggesting to
get known issues fixed so that clang++ might be ready for
broader testing.
More test coverage will shake out a lot of the remaining issues
at a quicker rate.

If the community contributes by increasing the test coverage
for clang++ then the core clang team could concentrate on fixing the
real the community would report.

I think Doug is suggesting that a bit more time will enable more
community participation in shaking out remaining issues during
the next cycle.

Would clang++ not be ready sooner in this way?

Cheers,
Maurice
