--- Comment #17 from Jan Beich (mail not working) <jbeich at FreeBSD.org> ---
Hmm, not much bustage thanks to DragonFly dogfooding GCC 5 before us.

Why not GCC 7? exp-runs are slow and often contain false positives. Having more
results at once would speed up fixing similar issues en masse using portmgr
hatchet^W blanket, a win in the long run. If there're many misoptimizations or
compiler crashes we can backtrack to GCC 6 or just temporarily pin those few
ports to an older version.

Still peanuts compared to Clang/libc++ updates. ;)
