  That sounds to me like /exactly/ what branches are for.  AFAIUI the
branching policy is very liberal and there should be no problem with creating
a branch.  Ah, here it is:

Though you will probably get more feedback if you post patches and numbers to the gcc-patches list instead of "silently" working on a branch. At least if the changes are not too big. At some point a branch is surely the way to go.
