This would actually be a big deal *if* they had ever actually added MPE
as an officially supported platform in the first place.

They've only ever accepted a few of the changes that Mark submitted into
the official source tree, so to us it makes no difference whether they
continue to list MPE/iX as supported or not, since Mark isn't depending
on their integration of his changes (which again they never completed)
to port new versions.

Each time a new GCC version is released, Mark has CVS merge in all the
MPE changes automagically and then he addresses any issues that come
up.

Hence this action on their part should not have any affect on whether you
can get future versions of GCC for MPE/iX or not.

So, no worries.
