I don't think the ICI people follow this list. Perhaps you should contact them. I would think that instead of hooks, a program should be able to call pass_manager functions to query/add/remove/reorder passes within a running program. That is, make the pass_manager a library that works on passes. GCC would just call that library to implement its particular pipeline. But I understand that this is not low-hanging fruit. Cheers, Manuel.
