Well, it seems rational to review past choices now and then.
IMHO the risk of someone combining a non-free compiler backend with a
free frontend is not great today, which maybe it was at some point in
time. I base this on observations of the companies I work with.
So the policy to not merge the mentioned features might have provided
benefit to the project at one time, but not so much anymore.
