I haven't yet seen what this is in response to. But the Subject: makes
it appear that this is talking about accepting
declaration-after-statements code.
If so, I think I object a bit, though of course that may not mean much.
It was, I think, less than a month ago I had to fix something - I don't
recall what - that had declaration-amid-statements code in order to get
it to build.
Naturally, whether my still using such compilers constitutes an
argument for x.org to continue sticking to that version of C is
something I can't really comment on. (It will significantly raise the
effort which would be required for me to build x.org X; whether x.org
cares about that is the question. It's not something I've done except
as part of a NetBSD build, so it's not clear it really makes any
pragmatic difference. Now, at least.)
