Yours sounds like the voice of long and practical experience, Alex. :-)

A distrust of possible regressions in optimisation between compiler
versions (and these have occurred in our toolchain) is one of my
motivations for writing ISRs in assembler to start with. Being able to
upgrade gcc to gain bugfixes or size optimisations, with zero risk of
ISR timing change, leaves the developer with more time to build a good
product, I think.
