It really seems to me, that the 4.3 release, without sjlj support, is
going to be more of a toy release. I get the feeling (and I am no expert
here), that you are going to alienate the majority of mingw users.  I
mean, we are talking about releasing a version of a compiler on a
windows system that can not handle windows linked code. This doesn't
make much sense to me.  This could force people to move away from mingw, 
and over to the Visual Studio group. 

>From what I understand, 3.4 was released with sjlj support. I would 
expect it would make the most sense to continue to release in that 
fashion, until a compiler that can continue to handle win32 exceptions
is implemented. That's just my 2 cents. Regardless of how I feel, I
think a lot of people are going to be pretty disappointed about the
current decision.

With that said, I am thankful that this work is being done, and, I hope
you feel confident that you are making the right decision. I am not.
