While I agree with most of the the points you make, the issue is not
whether GCC should allow a gpc-branch to be created or not. I think
that question would be just be a formality, if it were clear that the
maintainers of GNU Pascal want integration with GCC.
The fact is, that the GNU Pascal crew did not want integration with
gcc the last time this was discussed. GCC, the project, can not just
suck in every front end out there if the maintainers of that front end
do not want that.
