I do follow the gcc (and often gcc-patches and gcc-testresults) mailing 
list.  However I don't follow gcc-bugs or delve into bugzilla much.  
Sigh.  There's always something more.

I had been watching Richard Kenner's patches and wanted to see how 
things were progressing.  Since Kenner had mentioned fixing ACATS 
failures and this-and-such patch had broken Ada bootstrap 
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-07/msg00314.html> I thought that there 
was a good chance Ada *might* work now.  Apparently not.

Who is going to clear PR 15416?  i.e. What are the criteria?

Cheers,
