This discussion is rapidly degenerating. Let's wrap it up and get back to work. For the record, though, I don't view it as part of my duties as RM to come up with any sort of design plans for GCC. That would be fun, and it is in some other context's my job, and I suppose the FSF could conceivably appoint some kind of design planner, but they haven't, and if they did it might very well not be me! Somehow, we're taking in this down some route where it's Apple vs. the FSF, which is silly since I didn't criticize Apple. I'm not judgemental about Apple's role; I'm merely pointing out that Apple's mindset and the FSF's mindset might be different because they are looking for different things from GCC. That difference in mindset may lead to differences of opinion about what actions should be taken in the FSF's GCC tree. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery, LLC
