-# Require a gcc here that uses C++14 or later as default setting
+# In the 17.0 profiles we assume that our system compiler uses C++14
+# or later as default language setting. This means it has to be at
+# least GCC 6. If you need an older compiler for specific purposes,
+# feel free to unmask it, however, using it for normal emerging of
+# packages is neither recommended nor supported in any way.
