About what? Stalemate has already acknowledged he wants this. He just
couldn't shove it down people's throats far enough at that time. Later on
when Linux finishes blotting out all the other desktop and low-end server OS
and all the other toolchains have disappeared people will have to swallow
whatever the FSF tells them and like it, sir! All that proprietary gcc code
they wrote over the past twenty years thinking it was C won't compile or run
on anything else and they'll be locked in.

Is this such a difficult proposition for you?
