Tradition for toolchain stuff has always been that anything allowed by the profile is considered acceptable for general use. So, if users shouldn't be using 3.3, the profile should be changed to say so. Until then there's no obligation to upgrade. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaran dot mccreesh at blueyonder.co.uk -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
