Sort of. tree-ssa is only accepting changes which advance it towards the merge 
goals. In practice this means documentation and regression bug fixes.
Defining gfortran regressions is a little tricky given this is the first 
release. Basically bugfixes for fortran 77 code are ok, new f95 features 
should wait. Big patches may be acceptable if they implement features present 
in g77.

I agree that structure returns should wait until after the merge.
