I'm still on F20, and that shipped with 8.5 too. I'll have to upgrade eventually, so this may the trigger. Note that requiring newer expect/tcl may mean that fewer people will do the occasional gcc compile farm testing on some older hosts. From a quick look at some machines there, I see: gcc20 (debian wheezy)'s expect links with 8.5. gcc111 (AIX 7.1)'s expect links with 8.4. gcc110 (F18 POWER7/ppc64)'s expect links with 8.5. How hard would it be to avoid try/finally? Wouldn't you just have to use catch instead? Are there other nice 8.6 features that it'd be really nice to make use of too? Thanks, Pedro Alves
