The specific reason is that GCC is trying to remove PREDICATE_CODES,
thereby removing Yet Another Duplicated Interface in the machine
descriptions.
PREDICATE_CODES has been deprecated, so all targets should try to move
away from it. This is called maintainance. It is puzzling to me why
you reject a patch that is basically doing *your* work, as the target
maintainer, for you.
