But then, you'll explain people that they won't have a decent fortran 
compiler in distros before <insert here a date somewhere in early 2007>.

The fortran patches are always fortran-contained, and I think if the 
community thinks it worth to have a different development model (until 
some point in the future, defined in advance) why shouldn't it be so?
