It is a part of the GNU Project. "Success" for GNU Emacs means success for GNU. Our policy is not to install features in GNU package that would work with Clang and not with GCC. Emacs will not encourage people to switch away from GCC. Indeed, when we have the chance, we should encourage GCC over Clang. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
