Just to clarify:
SONAME 7 has been in progress for some time: there will be no "bumping"
of the SONAME in mainline, but instead a merge of libstdcxx_so_7-branch.
Remember, hombre? This was the plan that the SC, release manager, and
libstdc++ developers came up with at the last SONAME change. Seems like
an improvement to the old process to me.
It is my hope that we could wait around 6 months for this merge
though, in the hopes that some kind of concept checking patch could be
integrated.
