* CentOS base-line for KDE bits ? (Christian)
    + had already bumped it for 6.2 – for gtk3 / KDE5
    + 64bit Linux build on CentOS7
    + 32bit Linux still on CentOS6
       + platform is missing these newer pieces.
       + not got the new gtk/kde support but has new compiler.

* Compiler baselines (Stephan)
    + Plan at <https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2018-November/081423.html> “Re: 
Compiler baselines”:
    + If nobody objects, we'd update the build baselines on master
      (towards LO 6.3) as follows (cf README.md):
        + Windows: from Visual Studio 2017 to Visual Studio 2017 version 15.7
        + macOS: from Xcode 8 to Xcode 9.3
           + expect tinderbox / builders are at 9.3 anyway. 
        + Linux GCC: from GCC 4.8.1 to GCC 7
        + Linux Clang: from Clang to Clang 5.0.2
        + Clang compiler plugins: from Clang 3.8 to Clang 5.0.2
        + flex: from 2.5.35 to 2.6.0
        + gperf: from 3.0.0 to 3.1
     + any objections ? otherwise impl. thus.
     + Android ? (Michael)
        + tinderbox is dead too …
        + using the NDK-16 (Christian)
           + C++ run-time deprecated,
             and bump to NDK18 to llvm C++ runtime
             where exception handling is broken.  
AI:     + mend tinderbox (Christian)
     + MacOS / toolchain ? (Thorten)
        + if dropping unmaintained stuff - no problem.
