I'm going to avoid most of the issues raised so far and at least comment
on this:
I've not seen in the years I've been working on gcc as few bugs as I
currently see right now in mainline. I don't think quality has been
higher. Mostly I think we've finally gotten people to do what we've been
complaining about over the years which is to file bugs when they run
into them. Just look at the number of bugs we've gotten in the last,
say, year or two compared with the number of bug reports from the last 5
before that.
