Indeed, it's really an argument for why dropping Once good thing of 8c/8l as they are today is that it's far more easy to port them that it is to port gcc. IMHO, this is mostly due to the fact that they are quite simple. So, I'd consider the complexity increase of 8c as a thing to consider before actually `improving' it. If it gets a bit better but the price to pay is to make it less simple to port/change, I'd think twice.
