Yea.  I'd like to see GCC put similar policies in place.  It's really not
worth people time to fix some of the long dead GCC ports.

GCC has ports which haven't been configurable for years (since gcc-2.0)
those would be the first in line to die (fx80, gmicro/tron, spur, tahoe).

Though ironically enough, we got a question from someone trying to build
the clipper port today...  Scary.
