I'm for its removal. As for the gcc project "losing its way" consider
that 3.4 has quite matured and also has much smaller binary size from

to surpassing 3.4.


I consider that the compiler get bigger and slower with every release. The tools used to find overlong paths in the kernel would work well for gcc. Recent versions are painful, even with a decent SMP machine. The people compiling on laptops could spend a day building with new versions.
