Right. My secret fantasy is that rather than centralizing even more
GCC devleopment we instead concentrate on documenting and stabilizing
the front-end/back-end interfaces. We could then distribute
front-ends independently of back-ends, which would make for more
frequent releases, since we wouldn't have to wait for everything to
stabilize at once. As the number of front-ends grows, the ability to
stabilize them all simultaneously drops. Ideally, we'd do this with
back-ends too.
I know that's just a dream...
