Let me explain that GCC 4.5 is a release branch.  We don't like to put
new features into a release branch as that means it could unstablize
the branch such the next release of the 3.5.x series is worse than the
previous one.  That is something we don't want to happen.  New
features always go on the trunk and it is decided based on how the
change could be unstable might backport the change (most likely not
for new features).  This is standard software release practice as far
as I know it.
