I think that GCC 3.5 is going to be a good release. I also think that
the first release with major new technology (tree-ssa is easily the
biggest change to GCC in a decade) is going to have dot-zero properties:
it won't work perfectly for all people all of the time.
OK, I'm now totally confused.
If the "biggest change to GCC in a decade" doesn't justify changing the major
version number in your mind, then what would?
I have an answer to that question, but I don't think it's an important
question right now, and I've said all along that I didn't feel
passionately about it.
Right now, I'd like to focus on getting the release ready. We can have
the marketing debate later, if we must.
