I'm not really sure why you're bringing the UWIN GCC thing up on this mailing list, but you need to take this up with RMS. This was his decision, and he's explained his decision to some degree already on the GCC mailing list. Watching a few of these things before, I think you'll find that RMS is quite willing to discuss things like this with people but is not going to change his mind unless you convince him that he's wrong, and bringing in more people to talk about it will have absolutely no effect. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
