IMHO at this point it's probably a better idea to finish the OOP bits
and have it more or less bug-free before the GCC 4.5 release.  It is
of course a matter of taste, but I think it is better to have several
features of Fortran 2003 working fine and others not implemented at
all, than to have almost all features but not one of them bug-free :-)

En passant: Wow, you guys are doing an amazing job.

Ciao!
