The catastrophic failure is a developer wasting lots of time for
something that in the end is a compiler bug (or at least related to the
compiler, like strict aliasing problems). But actually the main point
maybe is, we have supported it so far and I simply don't see any need to
drop support. So far I also haven't seen anyone complain that supporting
it takes too much time or missed any of the new features. So it very
much feels to me like a "let's drop support just for the sake of dropping
support".
