While I think that placement of the ChangeLog file is not important
the important question whether LTO is a CodeSourcery internal project
is indeed popping up in this context.  Can you share some of the immediate
plans you have for the branch with the rest of the community?  At the
moment it looks like general cleanups, but what is the medium-term goal
for the branch?  Which contributions from others are suitable for the
branch - I see the work on IPA branch as possibly conflicting with
some design decisions, so should parts of it move over to LTO branch?

Thanks,
Richard.
