--- Comment #23 from Jan Beich <jbeich at FreeBSD.org> ---
When do you plan to merge the branch? Maybe rc1 (circa January 17) is a good
time. Not to rush but C++11 bustage is going to haunt us for months, anyway.

Pros:
- Notifying each maintainer manually is time-consuming but pkg-fallout@ doesn't
report issues for exp-runs
- early QA (e.g., compiler crash reports) is important for /stable/11 and
devel/llvm60 stability as upstream rarely has more than 1 patch-level release
correcting regressions after a new major release
- more frequent testing with clang 6 to figure out ports that block many
consumers sooner

Cons:
- head-amd64 and head-i386 builders are IPv6-only, so downloading all error
logs or getting the number of skipped ports maybe inconvenient
- clang 6 bustage will be mixed with other -CURRENT bustage
- may spoil other base exp-runs (like bug 214864) until more ports are fixed
- ports adding workarounds for clang/libc++ bugs and having to track that
