Then you have work to do :D

your PR tries adds baggage that nobody actually needs. Seems like the motivation is clear here: to annoy the maintainers, then play dumb/victim
The -fexceptions option enables C++ exception handling table generation, preventing Fortran routines in mixed-language applications from interfering with exception handling between C++ routines. The -fno-exceptions option disables C++ exception handling table generation, resulting in smaller code. When this option is used, any use of C++ exception handling constructs (such as try blocks and throw statements) when a Fortran routine is in the call chain will produce an error.

ROTFL, this one gave me a +very+ good laugh, so thank you very much.

On a serious note: there is no world where this one could belong into "Questions for the FG about the organization of the election" though, even with the most liberal interpretation. This is not really a complaint about your post, but given that there is an election right now, maybe it makes some sense to keep this thread relatively clean, so that it can be followed.

Well, the reality is that no one has stepped forward as candidate moderator.

If no one steps forward maybe the criteria to be a Moderator are too difficult.

If something is to expensive, nobody buys it.
Lower the price.

What? No volunteers? Despite how enticing this thread has made the job look? :wink:

You worried, that they'll just appoint you without the need for any elections instead? :shock: :D
