Yup, I made sure my change would make clang agree with GCC as far as this particular extension is concerned, so it was fully enabled in -std=gnu++11 mode and only enabled where it didn't conflict with standard C++ in -std=c++11 mode. I felt the same way that Chromium should just use the same flags for clang as for GCC if they want to keep using this extension, but they don't.

it seems that their reasoning is that they, understandably, do not want more gnu-ism in gnu++11 to creep up in their code base. But it seems that they are happy for this specific gnu-ism to creep up in other teams code bases...

Odd at the very least.
