There's nothing like posting before freeze gives you extra time like we do when transitioning to stage3. You are requesting a feature backport anyway. Anyway, you got a review from ME that showed the series isn't ready, esp. for going into a stable code-base last minute before a release. But I assume "YOU" addressed all volunteer GCC reviewers.
