We could do that!
If we didn't have any customers or if we expected they wouldn't bring
new code in to gcc that traditionally had been compiled by other
compilers, I'd see no point in doing it either. When one has no
customers or no code being ported into the platform, life is easier.
gcc has had a long colorful history of actually having customers (Hi
Joe) and having new code ported into the platform, I don't see a
reason to abandon that tradition just yet.
