That's totally awesome! Modernizing the compiler was something that I hoped for quite a while. Newer C/C++ standards usable with a compiler in the base system is great. And this will surely also benefit the work on the ARM architecture. Let's see when the old GCC can be retired at least for the more common architectures. Less GNU in BSD is always a good thing - whatever directory the source lives in! ;)

Is the migration to Clang prompting the removal of "obsolete" platforms?

  I think this is likely except they keep again serval "Compilers" to support also old Hardware.
  
  For now it seams they port back Changes from Bitrig. Which is no critic but it could have been done earlier.. :)
