It is already a considerable leap for many engineers to post code for

“Grow a thicker skin” is an appalling advertising slogan.
I just want to clarify - i am not posting these things to be a "troll"
or awkward, but as someone that uses "your" toolchain, because we depend
on it to build "our" operating system, and the actions (and inactions!)
on this list are a bit disturbing when taken in context of the whole
thread.
I have a massive amount of respect for the people involved in developing
gcc (which is far beyond my capabilities, of just developing patches to
support the OS I contribute to), but I still have a vested interest in
what happens because of the actions here - as do many corporate,
commercial and academic institutes that invest money and time on "your"
toolchain - so to exclude everyone except a group of people who have
built a rapport in discussions that affect us feels a bit offensive to be
honest.
I am saddened by the prospect that there might be no consensus available
here.

This thread has become so intertwined with different discussions it seems
that people are mistaking who has said what.
For the record (on-one needs to take my word for it, the list is archived).
* I am not being paid to work on GCC, I have been once (some time ago now)
- however almost all my input is voluntary over the 12 years or so since I
made my first commit.
* I have not:
expressed any opinion re RMS
expressed any opinion re FSF or the desirability of a fork
said that people need to agree (technically or procedurally)
required people to have rapport (I doubt that there is as much as folks
think).
I have said:
if people are not willing to resolve differences in a civilised manner, that
perhaps indicates that they have no interest in resolving anything. This does
not seem contrary to general GNU guidelines either:

I am not willing to spend my spare time working in a hostile environment.
well, I did post in good faith,
Iain
