I'm not sure if the degree of popularity of a bug should diminish its
seriousness.  This is an "accepts-invalid, rejects-valid, wrong-code" bug,
which is pretty nasty as far as bugs go. The use of C++ is expanding (including
GCC's own code base), meaning this bug is going to bite more people as time
goes on.

However, I do understand that bugs which affect more people right now should
get looked at first. Furthermore, given its wide ranging impact, perhaps fixing
this bug in 4.7.x would not be doable (ie. too invasive).  As such, I'll
reassign this bug to 4.8.0.
