And who has free time? I am not your boss or your customer, and you

Demanding (some people angrily) that they get fixed is another. This
is something that I didn't understand completely until I started
contributing to gcc. And it caused me a lot of frustration.

I wonder what your day time job is.

Compared to *my* day time job, GCC development is a heaven of meritocracy.

Complaints are a dime a dozen - ignore them.
