I'm disinterested in the rest of this PR, but I will comment on the above.
gfortran through the 4.1.x and 4.2.0 releases started to abuse the leniency
it was granted with respect to deviating from the normal release branch rules.
With 3 active branch I communicated with other gfortran deverlopers about
following the release branch rules because it was simply too difficult to
manage and backport with our current manpower.  I then asked Mark for his
opinion, and he was more than happy to have gfortran fall in-line with the
other front ends.
