a) remove the extensions.
b) deprecate the extensions.
c) keep them for non-pod types (and document them)
d) get them working for pod types too.
My preference is a or b.
I prefer a, and I think GCC 3.0 is as good a time as any to remove
that. However, I'm traditionally characterized as over-agressive. We
should let Jason comment. (I'm sure it will turn out that Red Hat has
some customer that uses these extensions heavily. Shame on them! :-))
I think b should be uncontroversial, but we'll see if Jason agrees.
I don't think we should fix bugs in these extensions; they're by
definition low-priority bugs.
Thanks for bringing up the issue.
