From what I have gathered in the past, and what has been said here on Hacker News as well, FreeBSD is looking to replace GCC in the base with clang/LLVM, and that is exactly where this move is going.
As the mailing list message specified clang is going to be the default on i386 and x86_64. GCCisms will eventually go away and the code base will be cleaner and more manageable based upon it.
As states in the FreeBSD status report for this last quarter there are already experimental tests being run on the FreeBSD ports build system whereby clang/LLVM are used to compile all of the ports in an attempt to see how far clang/LLVM can get.
