> Also: if icc is going to go with LLVM as a backend, then what is the point of using icc at all? They're not upstreaming all their optimisations. I'd be surprised if they upstreamed all their FPGA support as well.

Justice being fair isn't the same as saying that all justice is identical. If a lawyer works a case that takes a reasonable lawyer a day to complete, why would you expect the same compensation as a lawyer that works on a complex case f
