I'm not accusing anyone. I politely asked before and got no answers 
which explained it otherwise. Just claiming that there is 
misinformation and a misunderstanding doesn't resolve issues at all.

All the information which was passed out is "the Objective-C frontend 
won't work in GCC 4.0" and as a happy cc1obj user without any issues so 
far I think it is completely valid to ask for clarification even though 
I'm not a GCC internals expert.

OK, understood your point now.

From a user perspective it wasn't broken though, instead it was working 
just fine and behaved as expected - producing applications for 
production use at hundreds of thousands of endusers since years. So 
don't be offended, but I have a hard time to follow your "steering 
wheel" analogy.

But I suppose it isn't worth to discuss that. Am I right that the 
thread can be closed anyway because the issue is already fixed by 
Alexander Malmberg?
