Daniel is the C++ maintainer for gdb.  The problem is that some of the
changes required to fix C++ handling touch on other code like the symbol
table parts of gdb.

I won't go into great details about why there were problems with patch
acceptance but suffice it to say that not all of the problems were due
to the fact that GDB patch approval is (arguably) slow.

So, before anyone draws conclusions on the GDB patch approval process,
please read the gdb and gdb-patches mailing list archives.

I have Cc'ed the gdb mailing list.  If you all have complaints about
gdb, it makes sense to talk about them there.
