Explicit "BR: gcc" definitely does the switch to other compiler easier, because one of the main question for this change was actually "how many packages actually requires C/C++" and it was quite tricky to answer such question. Now it will much easier. And of course if we can switch from no requires to "BR: gcc", then it won't be harder to switch to "BR: clang". If we were going to switch to another compiler, it even gives us the choice so selectively stay with gcc , where previously it could be ambiguous which compiler is used .... BTW I am deliberately not going to read the rest of you email, because it is simple too much words.
