I'm not arguing for /never/ having a 4.0 release (although others do take that position, and it's a reasonable one).
If we never have a 4.0 release, then the major version number is
redundant, and can be optimized away for space.  The next version will
then be GCC 5 (short for GCC 3.5).  5.x will be bug-fix only releases,
and the next release with new features will be 6.

Are we being Sun, here?

Thanks,
