This is obviously a rare occurrence. Nobody can recall any previous such issue with the SC and I can't recall any such issue when I was the GCC maintainer. Drawing too many conclusions about "once in a lifetime" events aren't a good idea. > So, are you now suggesting that technical decisions where not the > sole domain of GCC developers?

The FSF has ALWAYS had the right to overrule technical decisions on ANY of their projects. The point is that this is a right they very rarely exercise.
