This case is not proposing to deliver multiple compilers into Nevada,
and it's not proposing to create infrastructure in case we need to start
delivering multiple versions later.
If you can help us establish that this should be a requirement, then
we can fill in the details of how to do it in a sane way.
But the delivery of multiple versions doesn't seem to be required
by the current business justification in the case:
3.3. Business Justification:
Encourage FOSS inclusion into OpenSolaris repositories by
minimizing compiler-related porting effort.
Provide a bundled set of compilers for any distribution of Solaris.
Please back up a step and help me understand why we need to deliver
parallel versions through Nevada, and not just through our existing channels.
