The GCC Steering Committee has agreed to include the Algol 68 Front End in
trunk designated as experimental with stipulations:

1. Algol 68 is not part of all languages built by default.
2. Algol 68 is not part of the GCC release criteria.
3. All GCC developers who are not responsible for the Algol 68 Front End
may decline to work on issues related to the Algol 68 Front End.
4. If the Algol 68 Front End bit rots or is not maintained, it will be
removed.

To permit Algol 68 development to continue, Jose E. Marchesi is appointed
as Algol 68 front end maintainer.

If maintaining a Front End outside of trunk is difficult, the Algol 68
developers are invited to propose concrete changes to make it easier to
maintain front ends in a branch of the GCC repository outside of trunk.

Happy Hacking!
David
