We're the first distribution to use clang as its main compiler. That would

Hi,
i'd say that we blowed up this chance, because of "undefinied quality
level" bla, bla bla blockers, bla bla bla, lot of bugs, bla, bla bla. NO GO.
Nobody out there even think about OMA being first distro using LLVM/clang,
because of NO RELEASE and NOT existing marketing.
Look at the many linux realted sites, blogs etc, news goes crazy everywhere
about trivial things like "OMG ubuntu builds kernel 4.5.0, OMG they are
some awesome". While we are doing more awesome work, without being
sponsored by tons of money.
I haven't seen any news out there that OMV is so awesome because it uses
LLVM/clang with LTO that gives great performance. There were two main
reasons:
1. Out of reach QA expectations
2. Release never happened
Imho if we want to survive RORE (Release Often, Release Early) must be
implemented a top of rolling release model only for architectures that have
future.
