We're not talking about ideal world.  We're talking about the
actual practice.

Do you believe the GCC C, C++, Java and Fortran front-ends guys are
not 100% busy?

That "great effort" has been made by any other people in the GCC
development community; why do you believe you're exempted?
Don't tell me you're busy; so are other people.  Don't telle me it
involved proprietary data; so are the cases for other people.
