[Cooker] gcc 2.96 - statement of intent, please?

[Paul Giordano]

http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html   While I understand that the cooker's generally considered "alpha" code, many of us see it as the precursor to the next release - are you planning on releasing Mandrake 8.0 it with gcc 2.96, clearly against the developer's specific advice (as in the above URL)? I really want to try this out, but I can't see doing so with the current libstdc++ locked into so many rpm's at the 2.96 code base.   I've seen a few other posts go by   Thanks in advance for responding - Gio
