I have politely asked if this is a reasonable thing to do, and have been given the green light from Stallman subject to two conditions. 1) That we integrate the real 2.7.3 when it is released and 2) that we don't spin a release with these snapshots in it. The projected release date is, I believe, a few weeks to a monthish. >From my looking at the tree, it appears we still have 2.6.3 and that the 2.7.2 integration that has been warned about coming has not come to pass (as of cvs-ctm 2175), so maybe this point is moot. I'd like to see it and will happily provide patches to a committer who is willing to commit the changes, assuming that people think it is a good idea. The patches fix a number of significant bugs in the x86 optimizer that make 2.7.2 dangerous to use. Warner
