While Fortran is not considered release critical it would be bad to
break say the build of SPEC CPU 2017 or Polyhedron very late in the

backport it for GCC 13.2 if you would like this feature to be implemented
for GCC 13.
And now comes the problem - no Fortran maintanier has access to SPEC
2017, as far as I know. The curse of closed-source benchmarks...
How extensive is SPEC using finalization? My personal guess would be
that it is not used extensively, since gfortran's implementation is
pretty broken at the moment.
Polyhedron we can test, of course, but a grep of the sources shows
that finalization is not used there at all.
But it's of course the Fortran maintainers decision.
Even though Fortran isn't release critical we might ask you to revert
if any such severe problems show up.
Sure.
