Thanks Graydon.

Just to be clear, we CAN continue to merge from gui-branch after GCC 
enters stage 3. The stage 3 rules exist to permit the compiler proper to 
be stabilized and allow the compiler developers to focus on fixes. In 
libgcj, we have discretion over what changes are allowed provided they 
don't effect other parts of the compiler. Merging updates from gui 
branch is very unlikely to cause problems elsewhere in the compiler and 
runtime, so its fine to continue merging in the lead up to the 3.5 
release (up until a few weeks before the release, at least).
