codingconventions.html has all the documentedness requirements. Such
things as no "GNU CC" references are a matter of having followed all the
global cleanups that have gone in on mainline while tree-ssa has been on a
branch, and done them on tree-ssa to the extent that CVS merges wouldn't
have caught them.
One key advantage of tree-ssa (as I see it) is a cleaned-up front-end
interface. As such it is a golden opportunity for a *documented*
front-end interface, so I think it is critical that everything new and
changed in the front-end interface must be documented when the branch is
merged if we are ever to aspire to having the front-end interface even as
well documented as the back-end interface (which still suffers from
maintainers adding undocumented interfaces and ignoring regression bugs
such as 3386).
