Seconded.
At some point, not to far in the future, perhaps when phase 2 of GCC 3.4
starts or even now, we should send an note to gcc-announce with mentioning
the new parser and that 3rd party projects should start fixing their code
bases.
(I would be very surprised if this doesn't affect nearly every single
non-trivial free software package written in C++ out there.)
