I don't see any reason to bump the minor version number if nothing is going to
change. There's no question of tree-ssa not making 3.5, we would delay
3.5 until it does make it as far as I'm concerned. tree-ssa is the
only hope I can see that GCC will ever be able to fix a critical failing
that produces inferior C++ code. Without it, there's no point to a 3.5
release.
