Given the number of branches and major changes queued up for GCC
4.1, we need to coordinate the way that they are merged to try to avoid
too much breakage and disruption. Mark is the GCC Release Manager and he
has the authority to try to herd the cats and manage this process.
Separately, I do not see anything in Nathanael's patch that should
create a dependency requiring the delay to Stage 2. Maybe there is a
communication problem or misunderstanding. If there is a way to
accomodate Nathanael, we should.
I would appreciate if you and everyone else who have disagreements
with individual decisions would stop turning these into complaints about
the entire process. There is no perfect solution. I'm sure that we all
would be happy to consider constructive suggestions, but complaining about
the abstract concept of someone else having control or making decisions is
not helpful.
