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.

Odd. When someone asks about getting a specific feature added or having a bug fixed, Robert Dewar (for example) inevitably replies that funding is required. Is he banned from making such statements? I should hope not!

Any group project involves politics; to ignore that is to be ineffective.
