No. The general rule is that we only fix regressions and documentation/test= s on release branches. As Darwin maintainer, I include fixes for build/ABI prob= lems in back-ports (where they only effect Darwin). Any new feature like blocks support would be much more invasive than that, = so definitely have to wait for GCC-15. Like other "vendors", I maintain external branches for Darwin that have more relaxed rules - allowing port-critical back ports that would not be accepta= ble upstream, However, first we have to complete this work and bring it forward to trunk = .. then we can worry about back ports to older branched ;)=
