I don't know that we have such a policy, except for a few things (like
config.guess) that are never changed in the GCC tree itself.
I agree with you that we shouldn't be doing blind imports in general.
In this particular case, I would have much preferred that the libtool
upgrade be done using the usual cvs/rcs merge techniques, rather than
simply the "blind import" method.
Thanks,
