Keep some perspective ... current's been the target of some folks who
abused the privilege, but the stuff about the filesystems IS a good, and
really interesting "current" topic. You can ask about the C++ libs, but
not at the expense of what others are doing ... that's selfish.
Besides, if you're reading the commit mail, you know that the C++ libs
are currently the topic of a lot of work, they haven't been badly busted
all that long, give them some time. They already know things are
unstable (the reason is because the ELF stuff *and* the Alpha stuff are
both hitting the C++ libs at the same time) so this just calls for a
little patience. A heads up ("this is broken") is a good thing, but not
calling off debate of important topics in design.
