I sort of agree with this, but the goals are not exclusive. I 
don't see anyone disagreeing with the statement that the number 
of compilers currently in use makes it hard to share code with 
others (whether for money or otherwise). That can be fixed in 
less than a minute by labeling certain releases "LTS".

If someone wants to undertake a time-intensive effort to go 
beyond that, fine. It's not needed to improve the current 
situation though. We already have many compilers in the wild that 
aren't receiving updates. There's no reason to make this extra 
work a prerequisite to reducing the number of compilers you have 
to support in order to share your code with others.
