I wasn't making a political comment, just stating a fact -- using the
Tango database was never a terribly good way of reporting compiler
bugs, now it's completely ineffective. It's annoying to have to look
in multiple places for bug reports, anyway. I suspect there are some
compiler and runtime bugs in the Tango database, it'd be great if
someone could check through them, and report any missing ones in
Bugzilla.
