Re: vacation and strict aliasing

    I'm about to leave town for a couple of weeks, so I won't be able
    to keep up my end of the type-aliasing battle.  But I hope that the
    matter isn't just dropped.

    As John Vickers points out, there's a lot of free software out there
    that is effectively not being maintained, and users or fixers of the
    software will require assistance.

While a warning would help the situation, making some these programs
once again produce working code would be a very effective kind
of help.  We are not certain we can keep those programs forever,
but even if it is just for a few years, that would be good.
