David is about to switch to GCC 3.0 and I guess he does not like moving 
targets. I would expect that for the GCC 4.0 upgrade a similar freeze 
request will go out. And that seems fair enough since it does not 
prevent anyone from applying the actual code fixes. We want to make this 
import stuff as easy on David as we can, no? It is a job from hell 
already.

Cheers,
Jeroen
