   while this is totally unrelated to my questions, I think the
   comparison is somewhat warped.

   Linux is one of major GNU "customers" and egcs was trusted to become
   the official version of gcc by GNU. I would expect this assumes some
   responsibility.

   RPMs are used on most distros, RedHat is one of major distros 
   (statistically most popular?). Also, the PC platform is clearly dominant.
   I doubt that BSD on VAX ever enjoyed such a popularity.

   I am very surprised that you are trying to marginalize a common
   platform and explicitely refuse to ensure consistent effort.

   P.S. yes, I do understand that everyone is a volunteer and can
        dissapear forever in 5 mins, but I am not asking you to thank me
        for sending you  bug reports.
