I am in favor of taking this change for the following reasons:
1. Visual Studio now ships with a Clang front-end, which I would like to start using. The work the Sony people are doing helps in this effort, and would save time for me and PerArne.
2. I think the amount of 'dead code' we are talking about there is likely to be small.
3. If we break the Sony build during a period of time that they do not have a buildbot, it's on them to track down and fix the problem.
Therefore, I don't see much downside in allow this work to proceed. If it becomes a problem, we can roll out the changes in the future.</pre>
