Jim, this is simply not true.

As a GDB steering committee member, you should know this so please don't 
present it as otherwize.  RMS raised issues with the GDB steering 
committee, vis:

- (C) Problems in documentation

- mi
Which involved signifcant discussion and you yourself even refered this 
to the committee!
- correct use of "GNU/Linux"

- Insight's copyright

As GDB's adminstrator, I've been resolving each in turn.
