The problem is that we don't know exactly what to do and how to do it. We can 
have short term objectives that might contrast with those of gcc (that we 
want to embrace in the long term anyway). For instance, suppose we decide to 
target just Linux for a start, because this will help us to understand how 
things work; the gcc will obviously react badly, and our plans can be 
affected...

If you like, think of this as a play-ground branch. We are here to learn what 
to do, when we have a good implementation we will contribute it to the rest 
of the gcc community. I suppose that gfortran developed this way.
