Maybe not the right word but I'm tying to discuss the problems around adopting "-xstrconst by default in OS/Net" (well, the kernel part is already done after the kernel folks ran into space problems... :-) ). The discussion is now running since at least Februar and even the prototype putback is stuck. And a sponsor request won't help if there isn't a chanche to get an RTI approval... > Why not go through the normal path?
