Do we? Why?

Mind you, I look forward to some of the nice new features of gcc3, 
but since the current tool  chain is working perfectly well, and the 
new toolchain will probably break things, and is potentially buggy, I 
don't see why it's a "natural" descision to switch over ASAP... of 
course it's important to start testing with it ASAP, but moving over? 
Don't think so.
