Note maintainers are appointed by the Steering = Committee. Great, I would suggest committing enabling LRA after the imminent stable = release for the next major GCC version. It would be nice to revert the = deprecation if possible. But in practice if of course does not really if we build the next stable = release with --enable-obsolete it just would look better. > If I read you correctly you=E2=80=99d keep the ia64-Linux port alive = but the other sub-architectures like the hpux port can remain = deprecated? Yes, as far as I am concerned we are only caring about Linux support. I = guess that could mean extra work for me carefully only deleting hpux code = then? I=E2=80=99ll send out the copyright assignment mail later today. How can we get this Steeting Committee pointing going? Thanks!
