If a feature is meant to be activated with -Ox or with -f/-m switches, it should only be present in a release if we are prepared to support it. In this case, based on Dan's analysis I vote for moving the non-working code into a branch and allow it to mature. Particularly, if it has not been around for long. Alternately, we could have a sanitization process during releases that enables a warning message inside the gate_*() functions for experimental passes. But, not every feature can be enabled/disabled with a gating function and it becomes a slippery slope. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEQ+0RUTa2oAUaiwQRAlpFAJ0cUkDBW0Bf0COa6tMS9RJOReopLACgjWPV 0q7N9OeVgDpUVE47mhQ/W4A= =Fxlp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
