Is there a set of release criteria for all these major new features? For example: * testsuite for C/C++/Fortran should pass with LTO * idem with WHOPR? * GDB test suite should pass with -O1 * SPEC should pass with graphite * ... Also, IMHO a new requirement should be added for merging big new features: Update changes.html. As usual for the last, say, 4 releases, most of the interesting new features are not yet described in the changes.html for the upcoming release (see http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.5/changes.html). Ciao!
