It's been suggested many times both before we rolled out the new sourceware and after. I'm not a real fan of the interface but at least it's being supported. It's just not supported in RHEL 8 right now, as far as I know. To reiterate our current philosophy: We're trying to use supported software on sourceware and not have to roll our own and worry about keeping track of upstream fixes and security issues.
