I can only speak for Apache OpenOffice but since Apple did the switch already we are feeling a growing pressure to port OpenOffice to clang. For the time being we need gcc but we would really prefer something more up to date than gcc 4.2.1 + fixes. In other words, yes making clang the default may sound drastic but I am OK with killing base gcc and if clang is what is left I can live with it.
