The point I was trying to make is that, often, it is not _possible_ to
upgrade to the next major release, because no such release has been
made yet.
I assume that bugzilla is supposed to reflect the state of the head
branch. Bugs reported for releases are only of interest if they can be
confirmed in the head (or are regressions). That might be a good
policy for developing gcc, but it is not obvious at all from a user's
perspective. I like the idea of getting some appreciation in the form
of remembering my report until there is a version of gcc released that
has the bug fixed.
