I think that having all GCC developers build/test all languages all the
time is overkill. I'm all for testing, and I certainly think that
people should make an effort to test languages that it seems like their
paches might be likely to impact (e.g., major C++ changes are likely to
affect Objectie-C++), but adding hours to everyones build/test cycles
seems like a bad tradeoff. Instead, people who break Ada,
Objective-C++, etc., should be responsible to requests to fix the
breakage, and willing to revert their patches if no fix is immediately
found.
