I've decided to stop working on gcc. And since that's not for the
first time, I'm making sure I don't lapse, I've removed myself from
MAINTAINERS. If there are regressions I've caused, I'll still try to
fix them.
Steven, may be there is deeper roots for your decision but I am sure
my personal conflict with you was definitely a trigger for the
decision. I thought a lot of the conflict for a few days because I
did not want to answer when level of my emotions was too high.
You are a very valuable contributor to GCC. I really mean it. This is
especially true if we take into account that last years you worked in
your spare time, not for living as many of us.
We all care about a better GCC but the most important is GCC
community. That is what makes GCC competitive as a compiler. You
raised right questions about GCC community when many were silent
although may be in incorrect form sometimes.
I really regret for what happened and apologize for this. I got my
lesson. I hope you will reconsider your decision or will return to
GCC on some stage of your life. You are always welcome.
