With the current release plan, I think 3.9 would be a good compromise
because some RTL passes still remain which hopefully can be removed
once the infrastructure on the tree level is available.  3.9 shows
that the release is a significant change from 3.4, and that it's still
work in progress in some areas (some will argue that a .0 release
indicates the same thing, of course 8-).
