My candidates for the release criteria compilers are:

Comments?
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.
