OK, I will prepare a patch for 1) and 2) when I have some free time. We can deal with 3) later, once the first patch is approved. As far as I know, 4) is the current policy and 5) may not be feasible, since no new features are accepted in old branches. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28322
