I don't feel comfortable including it in FSF gdb6.1. One strong
reason is that there has been no design review (as opposed to
tree-ssa). If those distros give you more latitude (i.e. no review
process, availability of 'unstable and 'stable' versions, etc), it is
not a good reason for FSF to do the same. I am not saying no a
priori. It's just unfortunate timing.
