Correct, and FreeBSD 5.0 will ship with 5.0+ release.
The import and use of GCC 2.96(7) in FreeBSD-CURRENT is to support
development of the IA-64, x86-64, and PPC ports. Since FreeBSD-CURRENT
is not a release and is a tool to use in getting to 5.0, we didn't mind
importing a non-released version of GCC. Note that FreeBSD's warning of
don't expect stability in -CURRENT will also be very true of the this
compiler.
