Your guess is probably better than mine, but don't forget these are
field test releases and it's probably the same people fixing things in
existing compilers and working on the new ones.  There might be a pause
where they fix all the gem2ir stuff that has come up with C and Fortran
before moving on to the other compilers.  But then hopefully the later
compilers will be easier because more problems with the underpinnings
have already been shaken out.
