I made a serious (with tongue a tad in cheek) set of suggestions
specific to GCC, and in response to comments made herein by others.
There is a sincere need to address these issues, which are very
GCC-specific; few other packages have the breadth and depth of GCC,
across platforms and users. Therefore, this seems to be an appropriate
venue.
You are totally ignoring the fact that there are many people who *are* paying
to have GCC maintained and a number of companies very happy to receive
such payments. But the point remains that the issues you are raising are
financial and political and this is a *technical* list.
