Putting the horses on the proper end of the cart is to first make sure 
we make it easy to align the three compiler versions together. Only 
then, choosing which compiler is more promoted, default etc. becomes a 
simple matter of branding.

Márcio, we are a small enough community that we can't enact things by 
fiat. We've tried before, invariably with bad results. Of course you are 
free to speculate that this time may be different, but it's just that - 
speculation.
