3.3 target date?

[S. Bosscher]

When I looked yesterday, there were 78 (!) high-priority PRs for 3.3, half
of them (38) for c++.

For some PRs there may be patches pending (hint: PR c/8828 ;-), but most PRs
have not been analyzed beyond "confirmed" and are not even assigned to
anyone. There's not that much bug fixing going for 3.3, especially on c++
where everybody is focusing on the new parser.

As a reference, this morning there are at least 87 high-priority PRs for
3.4, with 56 of them for C++.  This includes the PRs for 3.3 that are still
present on the mainline...

There's also the compile time issue.  Apple seems to still be working on
3.3, and it would be nice to have some of that go in before the release.
But we're only 12 days away from March 1...

Our testing at SuSE showed that 3.3 is in a pretty good shape.
There're - for x86 and x86-64 only two critical bugs:
- miscompilation of openoffice (just fixed last night by Mark Mitchell
  - thanks!)
- boost library does not compile

(I don't have the PRs handy)

For other platforms I'm aware of a miscompilation on powerpc that Olaf
reported yesterday but that's it for s390 and powerpc.

I'd like to see a March 1 release,
Andreas
