Oooh!  Yes - I'd forgotten about *that*.

This is a *very* good excuse!  We can blame all RH7 problems
on this one!  SuSE Linux Roolz! (etc)

The most ironic thing about this horrible fiasco is that most gcc
development is done by Cygnus people who are owned by RedHat!!

I'm really upset that RedHat would do such an incredibly STOOPID
thing.  I think the gcc people are being most restrained about
the whole thing.

(If you didn't hear, RedHat took an unreleased CVS copy of gcc
and released it on RH7's CD collection.  It's quite the most
irresponsible thing they've done for a LONG time!)
