When I read this thread a day ago, it consisted of SC and project contributors unanimously agreeing to remove Stallman, and 3-4 extremely angry outsiders calling the SC traitors.

Unanimous? As always in 2021, only one side can speak up publicly.
The SC itself only removed Stallman from the web page, stating that he was really not a member anyway.
The message was pretty diplomatic and crafted to appease the fanatics while not actually doing much.

Which steering committee member opposed Stallman's removal?
Is your objection to the whole idea of a "steering committee" that gets more of a say than TempleOS Developer CrunkLord420? Because you might need to take that up with 1999, and the EGCS/GCC detente.

Which comment are you replying to? What you write here has nothing to do with the parent comment.
> Porting CLANG would have been easier (to some extent) BUT my choice was political and Stallman in the Steering Committee is a long term warranty that GCC development will not steer away from the Free Software conception that I know, betraying my trust.
