That could happen. Of course, we would still need somebody to decide
whether a certain contributed patch should be applied to that directory
or not.

I doubt you get much feedback from the community on that detail; you
would probably need to actively collect feedback.

There was the signal problem which got resolved (even before the
sprint IIRC); I haven't done anything on VC8 runtime errors since.
For example, it still "should" crash when you are passing an
unsupported fopen() mode.

No. I personally didn't for quite a long time. I'll just remember
to CC you the next time.
