I am still hoping that one day we could retire build-script and just throw swift into llvm/tools, so it can be built in parallel with llvm and clang by the same ninja invocation. Building swift with the just-built clang would move us further away from that goal (but this is just my personal vision of how things should be built). -- adrian > By that logic, it seems reasonable to expect we could always have C++14 > support, although it does mean that porters would need modern Clang to > support their platform.
