Can you give an actual rationale for why you feel mframe should not be 
removed, given that it is deprecated and seems to cause compilation 
problems with EVERY new minor (not sub-minor) GCC version? Honestly, I'm 
curious to hear why you think we should just keep band-aiding the 
problem incessantly when it's the source of a lot of BS, and probably 
also a reason why some people try GNUstep, fail to get it to 
work/compile, and then give up and go use something else that functions.
