...though be prepared to receive extremely bad and annoyed feedback
from those of your customers doing heavy duty C++ development.
Here at DBAI, for example, we simply cannot use GCC 3.0 because it's
an order of magnitude slower while generating larger and also slower
binaries. I don't know, though, what this means for KDE and other
code you need to compile as part of your GNU/Linux distribution.
Though, if Red Hat could contribute developer time to address this kind of
problems on the GCC 3.0-branch, that would make a lot of sense I guess,
for there *are* significant improvements in the C++ frontend per se which
will be strongly appreciated by many customers.

Definitely. Having strong compatibility among different GNU/Linux
distributions makes a lot of sense, for *all* affected parties.

Well, why can't this be FSF GCC? Specifically, the current release
branch?
