That's not what I said though? Not supporting one compiler, on an OS
that's effectively not being developed anymore, with a pretty
indefensible behaviour, requiring not insignificant work by everyone,
isn't the same as standardizing on gcc. I mean, we obviously are going
to continue at the absolute very least gcc, llvm/clang and msvc.
