I believe we should drop Release criteria compilers concept, and have
recommended compilers. Each library mantainer would then choose to
mantain or not a particular compiler and document all the compilers he
actively mantains.
If a new library comes for review which can just run on some set of
compilers, excluding maybe two release compilers, should we not accept
it?
The most important is documenting which compilers are accepted by
which libraries.
