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.
