Then reexamine it for GCC as whole -- we're certainly not going to make
this kind of policy change on tree-ssa unless GCC as a whole buys into
the policy change.
In the mean time, I'd like to see Zdenek's patch adhere to current
policies and get installed. If we choose to change policy in the future,
then we can simply remove special casing blocks headed by user defined labels
in Zdenek's code and elsewhere in GCC.
