gcc development schedule [Re: sharing libcpp between GDB and GCC]

[Tom Lord]

   From: David Edelsohn <dje@watson.ibm.com>

	   Because many users (both inviduals and companies) want a schedule
   so that they can plan releases.

That is an orthogonal issue.


   GCC has operated [under a continuous release management,
   hierarchical software management model] and it was not very
   effective.

You are quite mistaken.  The GCC project has never operated that way.

The approach I am suggesting is an evolutionary step beyond 
the current practices and is quite consistent with the SC 
development goals.
