wouldn't it be better if I want to have a working compiler for language 
x to download the lastest version of gcc-x and the version of 
gcc-backend this language depends on?
I see it is not perfect to have different backends(or other parts) as 
"current release", but imho it is much better than having gcc-all 
releases with languages that don't work

and that doesn't permanently need more resources as maintaining two 
branches does.
