It's over, GCC is finished

And they don't like what they see:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2013-01/msg00313.html

GCC's future looks bleak, in fact there won't be a future at all because GCC is deprecated.

This isn't the first time GCC has been deprecated by a superior project but it will be the first time the FSF won't be able to adopt the superior project as the new GCC.

Fact: GCC is defective by design.
Fact: GCC is obsolete.
Fact: GCC is deprecated.

And he has some evidence that this sometimes happens (C++, Objective-C, many contributed back ends).
Except that in case of Objective-C that's pure propaganda (and I don't know what that guy meant by C++ and backends). RMS forced Apple to release their Objective-C fronted, but the runtime library remained proprietary, the runtime library was several times more complex than the frontend, and the attempt to implement a Free alternative never got anywhere to production quality[sup]*[sup]. Well, at least this way RMS caused Apple to adopt LLVM and embrace its BSD-style license, that's his greatest contribution to software development in my opinion.
