Making GNATS fixes a release criterion


Hi Mark,

Given that GCC bug reports are collected in GNATS now, I'd like to
propose that bug classification is used to determine release of GCC as
well. The GNATS documentation proposes

`>Priority:'
     (ENUMERATED) How soon the originator requires a solution.  Accepted
     values include:

    `high'
          A solution is needed as soon as possible.

    `medium'
          The problem should be solved in the next release.

    `low'
          The problem should be solved in a future release.

     The default value is `medium'.

Now, given the large number of "medium" priority bug reports, it may
not be feasible to have them all resolved. However, I'd like to
propose that at least all high-priority bugs are fixed in GCC 3. There
are, of course, two different ways to achieve that: Either a bug could
be fixed, or reclassified to a lower priority, at the discretion of
the maintainers.

FYI, at the moment, there are 11 high-priority PRs.

Regards,
Martin
