I note that many of the questions already added to that page could be seen as suggesting a greater role for the RMs than there is at present in setting directions for GCC development. RMs (in their RM capacity) do not set priorities or make plans for GCC development; although we can determine dates for development stages and branches based on what features we want to get in them, we can't cause development to be concentrated in particular priority areas. People can reasonably ask our views on what the directions should be, but perhaps the questions asked suggest a further question of whether RMs should have a greater role in setting directions and how such a role could be effective in practice. -- Joseph S.
