I do not think that it is appropriate to make this sort of change
in the behavior of G++ so late in the release cycle. Despite how much
people believe they understand the implications of this, it is dangerous
and not good release engineering practice.
What C++ statement would allocate the storage for a static class
member with your proposed change in linkage behavior?
