If you would have followed the mails a bit better, you would be aware
of the reasons why it took longer to release GCC 3.1: We fixed a
number of serious regression and it's more important to fix bugs
instead of beeing on time.  I fully support Mark Mitchell in these
decisions and like to say that he has not pissed of the people working
on GCC (at least not me ;-).

Btw. I do think that neither your tone nor your attitude are
appropriate - and your previous contribution in GCC does not allow you
to make such demands.  If you're so eager to work with GCC 3.1, you
could have used a prerelease and helped with testing and fixing the
bugs.
