That amounts to saying that every packager can use whatever compiler they
want, which basically means we do not have a preferred compiler at all
anymore. I do not consider this acceptable.
The change proposal defines a default compiler for Fedora:
"The default compiler for Fedora is gcc or when upstream doesn't support gcc,
then the default compiler is clang. "
The actual text from the change proposal that describes when a packager may
switch from the default is:
"Given a good technical reason, a packager may:
Choose to build with their package with clang even if the upstream project supports
gcc.
Choose to build with gcc even if upstream does not support it.
"
