I've just realized that this patch was committed to 4.3. Non-
regression patches to 4.3 need specific approval (at least). I don't
know if you had a private discussion about it on IRC, so maybe you
actually discussed the issue, but... letting less than 1h11' for
others to step in on the issue is a bit short, isn't it? :)
I feel we should really try to stick harder to the rules, as they are
only here to avoid us getting hurt (like, introducing a very annoying
problem not long before the release). The later we commit such
changes in the release cycle (seldom used options or codepaths), the
less testing we get.
Cheers,
FX
PS: I just noticed your ChangeLog entry has "fortran/PR35019". This
does not trigger the script that updates bugzilla, the correct form
is "fortran/35019".
