Releasing a 3.5.x compiler with Pascal support and a 4.0 series
without does not make any sense to me. I would strongly urge that
people inetrested in integrating gpc ini FSF GCC work hard on 4.1.x.
Resources will be best spent there.

But we got 3.3.5 and we're going to get 3.3.5

Ending 3.2.x series at 3.2.3 was a decision made after 3.3.x had been
released and people shifting there. I did not see any wide need to
continue releasing from that series. The situation for 3.3.x is
radically different from that of 3.2.x.
