Why would the Linux kernel keep GCC around?

I'm fairly confident the FSF would keep it alive for a long time, but I don't see why it would be necessarily be a priority for the Linux devs to keep GCC forever.

Linux kernel makes use of GCC C, not ISO C, also targets hardware that LLVM doesn't support.

Android Linux kernel fork actually builds with clang, and Linux kernel is yet to accept the changes made by Google.
