What are the chances of another release from gcc-3_2-branch ?

(I'm not sure if this is question is best for gcc or gcc-help, so I
figured I'd try the more specialized list first.)

I run a gdb test bed with several versions of gcc.  I note that
gcc-3_3-branch is being created today, so I will pick it up and
incorporate it in my test bed.

My question: is it safe for me to stop testing gcc-3_2-branch?  That is,
what are the chances of another gcc release such as a "gcc 3.2.2" coming
off of the gcc-3_2-branch?

I note that several of the ChangeLog's have been updated since
the release of gcc 3.2.1 on 2002-11-20:

  gcc/f/ChangeLog
  gcc/cp/ChangeLog
  libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog
  gcc/ChangeLog
  gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog

I'm just looking for some insight into the branch status here.
My default plan is to keep testing with gcc-3_2-branch even after
gcc-3_3-branch is created.

Thanks,

Michael C
