I keep building oi-userland and illumos-gate everyday, it is more a matter
of deciding the different milestones and have a few people to help as I
cannot spend much time on OpenIndiana right now.
I have been running the system with gcc-6 for more than a month now: the
only regression I could see on the desktop is some graphical artifacts in
Firefox, and for the server side I only use nginx + PostgreSQL, nothing to
report.

Your suggestion was to synchronize my repository on top of the current and
call for testing, then in a second stage update the build server with it
and rebuild all the packages.

So for the first step: how many users would be willing to migrate to a
testing gcc-6 built repository?
