I don't disagree with that.  Note again that tree-ssa is being funded quite 
well.

But the point is that tree-ssa is going to break things.  Like Ada (unless ACT 
can magically make an Ada compiler appear that builds functions as trees ;-).  
And if, say, the steering committee or yourself or some major contributor, 
already says beforehand that this is unacceptable, then no-one is going to 
seriously consider proposals from any such "specific people".
