There are a few reasons why this is a bad idea:
1. It's an insult to the gcc developers to use a unstable snapshot in a distro
against their will, this will make the gcc developers look bad. I dont think
anyone here would be happy if I started shipping a cooker distro as Mandrake
stable.
2. It's unstable! And a compiler one of the more important packages to
have realy stable, since a distro isn't more stable than then the compiler!
3. It breaks compability! Some say that it's only C++, but that's bad enough! I
develop Gtk+Licq the gtk plugin for licq. It would be a big problem providing
binary rpm's for a package like this. And I wouldn't be able to guarantee
anything since the compiler used is known to break C++ compability and it's
unstable!
Think it's a insult to the whole community to start using snapshots against
the authors will! If we are going down that road, I will not be part of it!
