Labling software as "buggy" is a major put down. If GCC 3.2 is "buggy" because it has at least one bug; then FreeBSD 4.7 will also be buggy as hell. > Admittedly I should have said "unmaintained" though -- point being that > the bugs in it wouldn't be getting fixed by gcc developers who would > rather fix them in 3.3... We don't maintain 3.x either -- much to the disappointment of some that based products or major deployments on it. But I do think we support the current release branch much better than the GCC people do. We have a much more liberal MFC policy which lets us continue to fix invasive bugs and add new features.
