There seems to be some confusion still about what info-gcc should be
used for.  So I will restate the purpose.

The purpose of this mailing list (info-gcc, aka the newsgroup gnu.gcc)
is to post announcements from the Free Software Foundation to the
users of GCC.  This includes both technical announcements such as new
versions, and political announcements, such as our support for the
League for Programming Freedom.

By contrast, gnu.misc.discuss has been created for discussions.
