To me there is blindingly clear evidence that what you're trying to protect doesn't exist any more, and that it's just alienating those rare individuals who do share our values enough that they haven't already moved on to LLVM/clang. And since the GCC license already fully allows writing a plugin which gives all the info we need, I strongly support and encourage everyone to go ahead, write such a plugin, link it to CEDET (or any other Emacs package if you so prefer), and I'll do everything I can to get this included into Emacs. With all due respect, Richard, I really think here you're simply wrong, and I'd be willing to consider a fork if that's what it takes. Stefan
