I'm sorry to have offended you, but I think you're overreacting.  I'm a 
maintainer with GWP and I made a change to our DejaGNU test harness, 
which is an area with which I am very familiar.  If I'd been making 
non-trivial changes to the library proper (changing iostreams to do some 
clever new thing, say), I'd definitely have consulted!

Is it your position that you want 24 hours to review every change to 
anything within the libstdc++-v3 subdirectory?  That's would be a unique 
requirement, but if you and the other five V3 maintainers think it's 
necessary, then I think that should be respected.  If you decide to do 
that, would you please update http://gcc.gnu.org/cvswrite.html to 
indicate that V3 has this rule?

Do you wish that I revert the patch at this point?

I'll look forward to your comments.

(FWIW, this patch wasn't really "based" on Geoff's, in that I started 
from scratch.  Geoff and I did discover many of the issues and come up 
with similar solutions.)
