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Fact: GCC is obsolete.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.

Perhaps if it weren't deliberately designed to suck shit because of RMS's paranoia that someone would steal it from him, it could actually be maintained beyond the backend.
