I'll further note that it would really be useful to cc the fortran email 
list on announcements of branch freezes and the like, given that many 
(probably most) of the Fortran maintainers and contributors don't 
monitor the patches and devel lists.  Usually someone happens to notice 
and forwards a copy of the announcement over, but I think that got 
overlooked this time, with predictable results.
