Possibly, mcatanzaro and clopez know much about WebKitGTK+ compiler dependencies.

As a result of the C++14 discussion on this list a few months ago, we relaxed our dependencies policy [1] to allow upgrading to GCC 5 one year earlier than planned, to the displeasure of some of our distributors who now have to build a custom compiler as part of their WebKit builds. We would prefer not to relax the policy further.

Our current schedule looks like:

* GCC 6 could be required in April 2018 (next Ubuntu LTS release)
* GCC 7 (required for C++17) could be required likely late in 2019 (next Debian stable release)

Is that acceptable for Apple?
