My only suggestion here is to not combine cross build techniques and gcc-4. IMO it would be better to tackle these large changes one at a time. Perhaps a LFS 6.3 with gcc-4 would be appropriate.
Right, it all depends of course on whether folks want things to be time-driven or feature driven (I'll don my flameproof garments now!). I wasn't planning on getting the GCC-4 branch stable, the cross-lfs branch stable, then merging them both to trunk at the same time of course :) That said, there's nothing stopping us from releasing a 7.0 that happens to contain cross build techniques and gcc-4, it's just it'll no doubt take us much longer to reach a releasable state.
Whilst GCC-4.0.x, was a big release for the GCC guys, is much more of an incremental change for us - certainly at least from what I've seen so far. Therefore, your suggestion of putting it in a 6.3 release makes sense to me.
