I agree it's worth testing, only not sure whether the CI environment is
the best place to test it. I want to avoid some random commit just after
a compiler update result in people blaming that commit for the breakage.
Gcc-4.7 might be finished enough to try in the CI, but Oleg also wanted
to run gcc-snapshot, which is a lot more volatile.

Like I said later in the email I also run tests at my own box, where I
test gcc development snapshots and gcc 4.7, so gcc 4.7 is being tested.
