Bad analogy - if the GCC problem is as has been discribed, then every
program in 7.0 will have to be recompiled if you want to use the next
official release of GCC. In other words, not only are the binaries in 7.0
not compatable with any other distribution of Linux, including earlyer,
but it looks like they will not be compatable with any distribution that
uses stable releases of GCC.

Like Statux pointed out - the gcc problem, if the reports are correct,
means that 7.0 is basicly scrap (not crap).
One other problem - any comericial software will need a seperate version
for 7.0, or there will need to be a package so you can run programs
compiled with the stable version of gcc on 7.0. Not one of Red Hat's
smartest moves.
