So you would like to withdraw the cpplib domain? If so, please say so.
I don't share your concerns. I'm not sure what regressions you are
talking about. If you think there might be translation which actually
break gcc/cpplip operations, we should find an algorithm that rejects
translations that potentially break gcc. If you are thinking about
mere typos - well, please do have some trust in translators getting
it right.
