Well, I find quite interesting that a project that is not supposed
to "directly produce anything for the public" allows us to get snapshots
(and maybe releases) of their compiler. I know that I take risks by getting
and using these snapshots, but I certainly appreciate to be able to use
them. I'd like to see such an open development scheme for gcc.

Hmmm, when I read the "Tired of waiting..." thread, I got the
impression that people working on the g++ part were quite frustrated
that a new release of gcc/g++ did not happen, because they had much a better
c++ compiler and they had to wait for the FSF gcc maintainers to say "Ok,
it's time to release a new version of gcc/g++", even if they got reports
for bugs that they had fixed one year ago...

^^^^^^
Are you kidding? Can you seriously say "a few months" when the
last release of GCC is 2 years old? :-)
I don't know anything about compilers, but I like how egcs is
developped and made available to testers on a regular basis. If the egcs
developpers happen to have a version that is stable enough to be available
as a release, I will certainly use it and not use the FSF gcc anymore.

P.S: Remember Emacs/Xemacs?
