No there is no reason, and yes the changes are generic.  I don't really
expect there to be many (if any) changes to libobjc that are not generic,
so if gcc-patches is the place to go, that is where I'll go.

In your experience, how long is the delay between gcc-patches accepting
something and FreeBSD picking it up, ie. is it worth the effort?
