[llvm-dev] [RFC] Removing Waymarking from Use.

[Tyker1@outlook.com via llvm-dev]

a bit of time has passed and there to my knowledge still no strong arguments against removing it.
is everyone OK to proceed with the removal ?

Is it worth it? I think it is. But I am not sure I see the whole picture -
are there low-memory systems that need to run LLVM on?

I am not sure what needs to be done to approve such a fundamental change;
especially when we can't prove the Waymarking was needed at all.

I guess if no-one brings forth arguments (= results) for keeping it and

people continue to support replacing it, we will replace it. There should

be a grace period in which people have the chance to do their benchmarking

(basically what is happening), but I don't recall a problem being reported yet.

I agree.  I’m not hearing strong arguments to retain it, so let's remove it.  Worst case, we can always reinstate it if there is a good reason discovered down the line.  Thank you!
