How cynical, that you'd need another, competing project to change RMS's mind. Does he also "get" that by the time it's gotten that far, it may already be too late?
I've contributed to GCC for many years now, but and it's still a complete mystery to me why the EGCS project had to merge back and become GCC. I can't help feeling that EGCS stand-alone, without the "help" of the FSF and RMS, would have been much better off, long term.
