The reason that I get myself on the verge of being given the tar&feather 
treatment must be due to me being a non-native speaker of English :)

Otherwise I could have expressed myself better to make it obvious that I 
am NOT assigning you guys new job descriptions <g>.

Far from it --who am I, anyway.

All I have been trying to say is this:

As far as I can tell, you don't reject incorporating code for compiling 
for a new CPU architecture point blank, nor do you yourselves guarantee 
that you will provide for every CPU out there (including life-time 
support). If someone comes along and adds the necessary code, fine; if 
not, well, life goes on without it.

Same here: What's wrong with considering, say, a new language back-end 
(or front-end) much like a new CPU-support?

Cheers,

Adem
