To do the political side step. I'd suggest waiting until there is a firm decision from the GCC steering committe on a go/no-go. If GCC decide to change, I can't see any reason for GDB to not follow. However, I've enough other headaches without trying to be the one blazing this particular trail. Web-wize, yes I agree that bugzilla is better (I've too much experience filing mozilla bugs :-). I think the comment about web interface performance is bogus. I should know, I lived behind a 28k modem with >500ms latency and survived :-) E-mail wize, the GCC thread suggests the people on the list understand the issues - need to be able to submit, reply and see updates via e-mail. It isn't reasonable to assume that everyone has permenant IP connectivity and <100ms latency. enjoy, Andrew
