Re: patches to move to gcc-3_2-branch

The locale bits weren't final in 3.1, so "regression" means nothing.
I'm trying to keep 3_2-branch in sync with gcc-3_2-rhl8-branch, which is
getting bug fixes as well as regression fixes (both of which I agree
with). I feel that the "regression-only" policy is stymieing my best
intentions to keep a level playing field for all.
That's it. This policy is making maintaining the 3_2-branch more
difficult than I'd desire (which is direct vendor merges from
3_2-branch.)
Perhaps other parts of gcc don't care about the digression, don't have
such patches, or have a different viewpoint.
It's not severe now, but these branches could grow apart quickly.
best,
benjamin
