This is wrong. There is no limit on how long a development branch may
need to live.
But it is documented on our own web site:
http://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html
I want to say this branch has been tested more and touch less than most
developmental branches in the past. In fact the tree-ssa is a werid
case
and really is not the normal in terms of gcc developmental branches.
