This discussion is rapidly degenerating.
Let's wrap it up and get back to work.
For the record, though, I don't view it as part of my duties as RM to
come up with any sort of design plans for GCC. That would be fun, and
it is in some other context's my job, and I suppose the FSF could
conceivably appoint some kind of design planner, but they haven't, and
if they did it might very well not be me!
Somehow, we're taking in this down some route where it's Apple vs. the
FSF, which is silly since I didn't criticize Apple. I'm not judgemental
about Apple's role; I'm merely pointing out that Apple's mindset and the
FSF's mindset might be different because they are looking for different
things from GCC. That difference in mindset may lead to differences of
opinion about what actions should be taken in the FSF's GCC tree.
