Michael:

I, and I presume many other people, have a great deal of interest in
the new register allocator, both for its promise and for the evidence
so far of its capabilities.

My understanding from previous messages on this list is that the new ra
would be included in 3.3 but not supported; support would begin in 3.4.
(By support, I mean that if someone finds bugs in it then the intention
is that those bugs will be fixed.)

David Edelsohn indicated that other people are prepared to help with
the new ra.  I hope that some way will be found to organize the work
so that the new ra will be ready for 3.4.

Brad
