Changing the semantics means pain for our users until those compilers go away,

simply not acceptable.
There's some misinformation happening which I'll clear up -- the
semantics are the same as always. If you provide __has_attribute with
a plain identifier, it behaves the same as it always has. The only
difference this patch proposes is allowing additional syntax where you
specify more than just a plain identifier.

Right, the discussion relates to making the proposed syntax easy to use in a way that won't break existing clang deployments further down the line.

Existing headers using __has_attribute() are unaffected by this either way.
