Although I may just have done some error myself, I think there may be

It's GPL but mySQL is non-free, so it's in the contrib. The author has

I think that there are problems with them being gatewayed.
In general, USENET has a low signal-to-noise ratio, and newsgroups
have much greater exposure and attract a less clueful kind of reader
and poster.
This is not something that's critical at the moment, but we should
probably be thinking about it if there's any chance that we'll ever
switch to egcs as the default compiler.
It's also important if we'd like to support people who want to use
egcs as their local default. The goal being that when
