Post 2.7.2 development has hardly merited respect. Its been a
PR disaster and the rate of improvement seen in egcs (not least
the approach to testing and addition of thread, exception and
template functionality) shows what is possible.
Most users and (in particular I guess) ISVs would love there to
be one nice central development effort. But we're not prepared
to see the stagnation that we've seen previously, and not
prepared to lose the real advances being (and been) made in egcs.
How do you propose to progress this - is there even a real issue
beyond turf war?
