No, they decided only on support for the Kurdish PKK, which is only under right-wing states a terrorist org. Everyone knows they are not one for decades.
No. I wrote my integrated linkers with rcc for pe/coff, elf and macho by myself, and macho was the worst to be dealt with. elf was pretty easy, easier than pe/coff.
Mine is also much faster than mold/wild, because I do much less work, and I have all the objects already in memory. Similar to tinycc. Only when someone needs a very unusual unsupported linker feature, I have to fallback to an external linker, which is ~100x slower. The less work it has to do, the faster. I dont appreciate the unix habit to use intermediate files all along, which needs additional readers and writers.

But as he later explains, he needs to decide on some typical app maintainence issues, which have nothing to do with his role as staff engineer.
