on IRC at the time - we will be happy to send you updates on this) but we
balance this with other priorities (as well as a desire not to grow a
dependency on LLVM more broadly - Fedora relies heavily upon the expertise
of RH's tools team, which focuses on GCC almost exclusively precisely to
avoid fragmenting the resources that do exist to develop awesome new
tooling). Right now, many desktops work just fine, and there is no reason
ARM cannot be a a Primary Architecture because of a temporary bug in
llvmpipe (or otherwise we can revive this thread for you next time it
breaks on the other architecture and see if it should be demoted
accordingly?). If there is a rule saying "PA needs GNOME" then this can
easily be adjusted to reflect the fact that many are running Fedora on ARM
today happily with a variety of other desktop environments.

It is not only that one desktop does not work but pretty much everything
that uses GL ... Which is not acceptable in 2013 IMO ... And this has
nothing to do with GCC vs llvm either ...
