2.95.3 is 2.95.2 with a couple of bugfixes. 2.96 is a different branch,
with many more fixes and new features (such as ISO C++ and almost-ISO C99
compliance, ia64 support, ...)

2.95.3 == 2.95.2 + minor fixes.

2.95.3 has nothing to do with 3.0. It's just some more fixes for 2.95.2.

We will not ship anything from the 2.95 branch. Either 3.0 will be ready
(likely), or we'll stay with 2.96.
Making a bick step backwards wouldn't make sense.
