In light of all the delays, I would like to propose that we create a development / test branch for gfortran.
We could then start committing all the pending patches and if mainline ever branches, just merge back.
This would allow us to make up for lost time, create test binaries for the wiki and start getting some user feedback going on 4.5 features.
I apologize if this seems a bit rebellious, but I do think it is within current gcc rules and would help un-log the jam.
All who agree, please reply "yea", those opposed, "nay".
Note that merging the branch will be painful (as in, please dissect the branch into the individual patches again to make bisecting the trunk SVN possible). Also the SC vetoed these kind of 'integration' branches in the past (to not encourage starting an effective stage1 on a branch).
