--- Comment #7 from Steven Bosscher <steven at gcc dot gnu.org> 2013-03-06 10:51:27 UTC --- This bug looks like the wrong idea to me. Old is apparently anything older than the maintained release branches, but many users "in the field" still use older compilers that come with their respective distributions. For instance a regresion that is present since GCC 4.6 but not in GCC 4.5 gets reduced in importance and visibility by not marking it as regression and instead only adding it to this grab-a-bag PR. Example of such a case is bug 53958. This is a change of old existing policy that any regression should be marked as such. This policy change should have been discussed (and IMHO rejected) on the GCC mailing list. Also, this meta-bug depends on not-so-old regressions, so it's already more like a collection of compile/memory hog issues than a collection point for apparently "unimportant" regressions.
