Re: [Gdbheads] proposed change to GDB maintainership rules

[Richard Stallman]

    Having said that, I would say that, if the rules proposed had been in
    place for the last year, then GDB 6.0 would have had better support
    for C++ nested types and namespaces, and that it would also have had
    non-user-visible changes to improve its maintainability

Off-hand I would not say this is a terrible problem--especially if
some of them are being installed now.  I suppose the maintainers had
some reason not to want to install that code as it was written.
