Re: Some thoughts about steerring commitee work

One advantage of having some SC members who are not GCC developers (and
thus seem less involved) is that they are more independent.  They have

The funny part in the discussion on the SC is that most contributors seem to place me firmly in the "users" basket, while, at the same time, in the Fortran Standardization Committee (http://j3-fortran.org) I'm firmly placed in the "vendors" bucket ...

You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time (whose quote am I mangling here ?).

BTW, *I* wouldn't be opposed to elections and no-more-years terms for SC members. Part of it is experience in dealing with GCC-within-the-GNU project; part of it is experience in developing a great compiler.

Cheers,
