I think this text is superior for GCC to that on the generic page and so 
we should replace the text on the generic page by this GCC-specific text.

Likewise.  We don't use VERIFIED and CLOSED in GCC, proper text should 
reflect the existence of only one closed state with a genuine meaning and 
not mention the others (ideally they'd be completely hidden).
