A while back Stephen Kelly specified changes to MPL to get rid of hacks for old compilers that nobody should be using anymore, and which would simplify the MPL code a bit so that new development could more easily be done with the code. But these changes were never made
The removal of the old code was committed (see 'gitk steveire' in mpl.git).
Daniel James reverted it.
Feel free to revert the revert.
I am not the maintainer of MPL, although I have been granted rights to change it. I don't think MPL has a primary maintainer any more so any large change needs a consensus AFAICS.
The consensus appeared to be that MPL should keep the old code. I agreed with you instead. But I am not going to go against the consensus of others unless there is an updated general consensus that agrees that MPL need no longer support the old compilers that it does.
You can consider what I wrote to be an invitation to anyone/everyone on this list to decide to coordinate. Good luck! Steve.
