It doesn't serve us to bash contributors for not doing more.  As some have
pointed out, it can backfire; I wouldn't be surprised if Sun's own
compiler group sees gcc as competition and would like for Sun to support
it *less*.  Like most tech companies that have seen better days, Sun's
been cutting costs to the bone; I'm sure that they don't feel rich.

So please stop.
