To do the political side step. I'd suggest waiting until there is a
firm decision from the GCC steering committe on a go/no-go. If GCC
decide to change, I can't see any reason for GDB to not follow.
However, I've enough other headaches without trying to be the one
blazing this particular trail.
Web-wize, yes I agree that bugzilla is better (I've too much experience
filing mozilla bugs :-). I think the comment about web interface
performance is bogus. I should know, I lived behind a 28k modem with
>500ms latency and survived :-)
E-mail wize, the GCC thread suggests the people on the list understand
the issues - need to be able to submit, reply and see updates via
e-mail. It isn't reasonable to assume that everyone has permenant IP
connectivity and <100ms latency.
enjoy,
Andrew
