We could set up a special mailing list for the purpose (gcc-prereleases
or some such).  However, if the secondary platform owners don't follow
the gcc list, and don't test anything on the CVS branch until the first
pre-release tarball comes out, I'm afraid that what's going to happen is
that the code just isn't going to work.  If people don't get involved
earlier than that, bitrot sets in and the code breaks.
