Thus, we start the 30-day period before removal of the old allocator, as 
per <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-04/msg01812.html>, with the 
removal due on or shortly after 25 September.  Will you volunteer to do 
the removal of the old allocator, including any functions in other files 
that are no longer needed once it is removed?

We need to warn maintainers of the unconverted targets about this.  Could 
you

(a) provide any pointers to guidance for target maintainers converting 
their targets, to go in this warning;

(b) confirm that the test for whether a target is converted is whether it 
defines IRA_COVER_CLASSES?

With that information, I can send an announcement to the gcc list and all 
the listed maintainers of unconverted targets.

Please also write some release notes for gcc-4.4/changes.html about this 
new feature (figures for improvements on benchmarks might be useful), and 
probably an announcement for the main htdocs/index.html page as well.
