Hi, I don't think we should be worrying about what hypothetical downstream users of freebsd are doing. If they want to actively ensure things are backwards compatible for their needs, then they should step up and actively fund + participate in development. So if we're somehow /still/ supporting gcc-2.8.1 because -core decided that we should support it - please step up and tell us why and who. Otherwise, let's keep pushing forward to at least the busted old gcc we /do/ support, with an eye towards the future. -adrian
