Compilers aren't like milk. They don't go off after a few weeks. A good
compiler/operating system combination should still be usable after 4 or
14 years. The compiler I'm using is six years old, and I expect that it
will continue to get patches and upgrades without breaking backwards
compatibility for the next six years.

Are you volunteering to provide that support? I'm sure it would be
appreciated.
P.S. Please don't top-post.
