I do, at least in your OS/Net example, since your ON nightly(1) environment must provide a path to the compilers to use. And people who build multiple consolidations, and multiple versions of each consolidation (Solaris 10 updates vs. OpenSolaris/Solaris Next) already have to have multiple compiler versions installed.
