you can translate this by: unless a patch has been blessed by gcc
people (ie. people who *do* understand what they're doing) and it has
been reported on gcc bugzilla, it is worthless.

That said, I know that Yann is fond of importing random stuff written
by random people as long a it fixes obscure corner case encountered
the deep Siberia. He still did not prove me the opposite. I'm still
waiting for him to confirm me he understand all the patches present in
ct-ng.
