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
