Having said all that, why do *you* think those packages should be removed
They are very big, they have very big build times, and they are in general a burden for QA. Every time I do an archive rebuild to check for any thing, I have to include those packages so that the archive rebuild is complete. Otherwise I would be unable to say, for example, "there are exactly 50 packages in trixie which will FTBFS if the apt cache is removed before the build" (to put a recent real life example).
and why didn't you go to the maintainer, but came straight to us?
The idea of filing a bug against release.debian.org with the GCC maintainers in the Cc (initially X-debbugs-Cc) was to have a discussion between all involved parties, not just the release team. Please keep the GCC maintainers in the Cc. Thanks.
