I don't think you should. Again, Drizzle is an alpha level product if I am not mistaken so support existing distros may not make a lot of sense, because by the time Drizzle is ready for prime-time, GCC 4.2 may already be available. Besides, if you can still distribute binary packages for various distros that were built with GCC 4.2, I would really call this small potatoes.
In my mind, the point of build bots is to ensure that Drizzle will compile on platform X for user Y without much trouble. I agree that we are still in alpha with Drizzle. I have other stuff masked on Gentoo that I need to do my job, so it is not that big of a deal for me to mask gcc. I was just not sure if my thoughts about the purpose of the build bots matched the communities thoughts. Sounds like Monty wants to be as compatible with as many distros, as they are, as possible.
