A point *I* would like to make is that there are a lot of people interested in
different areas of development. Some of them actually do files bug reports (for
instance, we get all kind of advanced C++ compatibility bug reports from the
Boost people - and we actually fix them). Some of them, like you, never filed a
single bug report since we started our bug database (4 years ago or something).
At least, this is what Bugzilla told me.
Marc, compile time regressions are seriously taken by GCC developers. But
they're not something that are *easily* noticed. It's not like a crash in a
testsuite which is immediatly noticed by the tests. We strongly need bug
reports to be able to fix them, because they're more hideous.
Are you preparing a bug report for the OpenBSD kernel compile-time regression
you showed us?
