Wow, I didn't see that coming... Well, actually, I did ;) In January 29th, I wrote in this list: "Which makes me raise a question: are we going to see for the first time ever (or at least since Redhat 5) a Redhat release numbered *.3 (i.e., 7.3)? What I mean is, is there any chance that a new gcc will be stable enough in 2 months to be useful as the only compiler on a system (for compiling C, C++, kernels, and everything)? Because I doubt that Redhat will come out with 8.0 without being based on a new gcc. And according to my calculations (which might be flawed), a beta of the next Redhat should be out in about two months." P.S. I can't find your slashdot story, nor any confirmation on redhat.com, linuxtoday.com, or linux.com.
