Apology
=======

This report is significantly past due.  I apologize.

Status
======

The trunk remains Stage 3, so only bug fixes and documentation changes
are allowed.  While the various maintainers have discretion in
allowing additional changes, they should, at this point, being using
that discretion sparingly.

We should now be focusing clearly on getting 4.4 out the door, not on
adding more things to it.

As expected, there are a number of performance and a few correctness
issues stemming from IRA.  These include bootstrap problems on popular
platforms.

There are also several issues that seem to be related to the use of
assembler CFI directives.

Quality Data
============

Priority	  #	Change from Last Report
--------	---	-----------------------
P1		 26     -  2
P2		133 	-  2
P3		  2	- 29
--------	---	-----------------------
Total		161	- 33

Overall, the bug count is quite a bit lower than at the point of the
previous report -- but the P1 and P2 counts are not significantly
smaller.  Some of the P3s from before likely turned out to be P1s/P2s,
so this is progress -- but there seems to be quite some way to go
before 4.4 is ready.  In fact, some of the P2s (like PR37071, which
seems to indicate that EH is broken on PA GNU/Linux) might well
qualify as P1s.
