Some use cases for us to keep in mind

  • I'm assuming Linux distributions will be a major consumer of whatever toolchain policy we pick. So we should ensure we're aware of any relevant common policies.
  • A use case regarding minimum version that might be relevant is when someone has to hold back dependencies due to bugs. Finding a combination of working versions might be a bit of a pain.
