If you want to do that, it's not a problem with me. That said, I probably wouldn't install packages that wanted to pull in a whole different toolchain unless I wanted them really badly (but on machines where I already have clang installed, I might not even notice). I'd say there's value in staying close to where the community's at, if you actually want your software to be used. If you don't care that much about your software being used by other people, nobody can stop you. Cheers, Dirkjan
