Redhat didn't just mess up, they deliberately messed up.. there's quite a 
difference in that.. They have done quite some good things indeed, but I just 
hope they will keep the open-source spirit alive, and won't let the 
commercial aspect become more important. They seem to have been trying to 
grab market share quite deliberately with this gcc-release everyone else 
surely wouldn't have released in their distro.. and therefore creating binary 
incompatabilities and betraying the community in some sence..
