Comment (by mascguy):
First off, I sincerely apologize for the negativity, and pessimistic tone.
Ditto for any suggestion that our organization's approach isn't good, as I
don't believe that whatsoever. The last thing I want to do is alienate any
of of you folks, and/or contribute to negativity!
MacPorts has been - and continues to be - an incredibly awesome resource
for the community. And I fully support the approach we're taking, as it
does benefit upstream projects: By moving forward, we help pay it forward,
and assist them with identifying and tackling code issues.
My only thought/suggestion - in the interest of balancing all of that,
with the limited time of our maintainers - is this: If there's a way that
we can gradually migrate to the latest Clang version - maybe by starting
with ports that declare a need for the latest C++ standards (2017+ for
example) - that might be something to consider.
After that's been in play for at least a few weeks - or a month - then
expand that to C++ 2014 and later. And so on.
Is that a potential compromise that might be worth trying?
