One advantage of having some SC members who are not GCC developers (and

The funny part in the discussion on the SC is that most contributors
seem to place me firmly in the "users" basket, while, at the same time,
in the Fortran Standardization Committee (http://j3-fortran.org) I'm
firmly placed in the "vendors" bucket ...
You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people
some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time (whose quote
am I mangling here ?).
BTW, *I* wouldn't be opposed to elections and no-more-years terms for SC
members. Part of it is experience in dealing with GCC-within-the-GNU
project; part of it is experience in developing a great compiler.
