and noticed that the policy is to require a complete bootstrap for C
changes, but not for C++.  Given that GCC's implementation language is
now C++, isn't that backwards?  I'm not trying to weasel out of the
extra work for my patch, just curious if the web site guidelines have
gotten bit-rotten after the switch to C++, or if the SC did indeed
consider the issue already and the published policy is accurate.

They've bit-rotted a bit.  Interested in cons-ing up an update?
