Yes I would object to closing it.
This issue has a large impact on significant bodies of legacy code in our
institute.

I understand that you wish to enforce "standards", but removing a "Non-standard
extension" that was present in older gfortran versions is wrong in my opinion.
You should at least leave a commandline option or environment switch to allow
users to compile legacy code that worked fine before.
