Good question.

Here is the message Mark sent out about 3.0.1:

    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-06/msg01382.html

Now, for 3.0 the criteria for Java were more relaxed than for the rest
of the compiler.  And I assume we have some leeway in 3.0.1 as well.

I personally have only been putting in fixes which are not likely to
break an existing supported platform and which will help us build on a
new platform.  I haven't been checking in fixes to the libraries and
the like, even if they are relatively simple.

There are a few patches pending which do this and which I hope to look
at this week.

Actually, we haven't really discussed it.

I don't have a problem moving JNI fixes from 3.1 to 3.0.1.  They are
very unlikely to break anything that isn't already broken.  However,
where do we draw the line?  How would we decide what not to put in
3.0.1?
