Hi,
I agree that compilers should be a priority :)

Usually the rule is that we do not migrate until 100% of userland builds
with the new compiler.

Last summer I was missing only a handful of packages (a dozen left) to do
the migration to gcc-10 but then health issues got me out of the game for a
few months.

Hopefully with more help we can have this migration done by the next
snapshot.

Kind regards

Aurélien
