While I prefer 2.95, too, I wonder if this has consequences on binary
compatibility. As far as I know, C code is not a problem, but C++ code
may be incompatible between different compiler releases.
So, a binary released for redhat 7 may not work on mandrake, if it contains
C++ code and is linked against shared C++ libraries.
Does anyone know if this problem really exists or if 2.95 and 2.96 are
compatible in this regard?
