Hey all,
I am asking about this because I have been asked to look into
packaging software that has a specific requirement for >=gcc-6 in order
to build [1].
As I said few times, we should dump gcc-5 sooner than later and any
software that does not build with gcc-6 should be p.masked and dropped
from the tree if there isn't a nice fix for it.
Just a heads-up, that p.mask list would happen to include firefox and
thunderbird right now.
So if we don't p.mask those, is them breaking with gcc-6 still enough
to keep gcc-6 out of ~? If not, I definitely +1 what lu_zero said,
let's add ~keywords to gcc-6.

No, i'm good with keywording gcc-6 still. I'm just not Ok with
firefox and tbird and others being p.masked for removal simply because
they don't build.
Also its worth noting that the gcc-6.3 build failure is apparently not
absolute, there are people that have built mozilla stuff fine with 6.3
