I agree. The Fortran 95 frontend, however, is only available with 
tree-ssa, so any discussion of Fortran's future is tied to the viability 
of tree-ssa.

I, too, and grateful for all the work people put in on these projects. 
Which is one reason I was trying to help out a bit in my own small 
way... if we could secure funding for certain projects, it would benefit 
us all.

Sadly, I approached this situation from the wrong direction; I should 
have approached a major vendor (and IBM or Red Hat) first as an 
intermediary. Going directly to  "the people" has been less effective 
than I'd hoped.
