I was absolutely not thinking of anyone in this thread.

FWIW, my opinion is that I think it would be nice to have dragonegg 
build out-of-the-box with FSF GCC (and I would very much welcome that my 
distro applied the patch, if not) however I don't see a reason to have 
it live in the FSF repository.

On the other hand, I would welcome a gcc-clang front-end in the FSF 
repository.  16 months ago I probably would have even given it a shot.
