OK, so what you are saying is that by introducing gcc-2.96 you are prepaired to
do the same thing as RedHat and release a gcc snapshot as the stable compiler
in a Mandrake release against the recomendations from the gcc developers.
I cant see what cooker and in the long run Mandrake would gain from this. What
I can see is that alot of people that is just running some packages from
cooker, while still prefering to use stable core libs cant continue to use any
cooker software. This probably means a lot less testing and in the worst case
bad stable releases.
//Snaggen, runs just partial cooker... and will NEVER use a gcc-2.96 compiler!
