I recommend applying tests and merging your fixes to at least one gcc version. If you want to watch something about our reasons for creating a collaboration between Linux distributions (and upstream projects), you should watch my first presentation "Collaboration instead of Competition": https://av.tib.eu/media/57010 Hint: The IBM statement came from my former IBM Manager (now your CPO).
