I can see why both of you might disagree, however my position stands.
Remember:
o I'm not stopping you trying to fix
all the bugs. I'm just stopping you
making that last critical bug/feature
(minus the next one) the reason to delay
the release of GDB 5.1.
o we're trying to move to a situtation where
there are more frequent releases of GDB
(and I'm failing dismally). Right now
5.1 is effectivly stuck because it
needs SPARC/Linux fixed.
o I don't want GDB's release schedule in
someway directly tided to GCC's release
schedule.
I also posted this decision to the discussion list and at the time I had
ZERO responses.
