Dropping GCC 11 into rawhide now would mean I can't make certain
ABI-breaking changes to the C++20 library in upstream GCC, because it
would be landing on real users' machines. Which means I lose several
weeks of GCC's stage 1 development. No thanks.

This is for C++20 library support only, right?

Right.

Not much software in Fedora uses the C++ standard library (even at older
C++ versions), so impact on Fedora itself should be limited.

On Fedora iteself, yes. But not necessarily on users compiling their
own code (or other third-party libraries) using the system compiler.

Does GCC 10 have a stable ABI for C++20 features?  It's still
experimental.  So I think it's a wash for rawhide users after all?

Yes, that's true. But at least there's a "flag day" when GCC 11
arrives in rawhide, when it's pretty reasonable to expect things to
change.
