And what else do you propose they ship, given that gcc 3.0 has not been
released yet?
If you actually think about it you should realize that, whatever you
may think about the decision to ship "2.96" in RedHat 7, at this point
the most sane and responsible thing is probably to use the same compiler
(with only minor/critical bug-fixes), until 3.0 is released. IMNSHO.
