Not so sure about that...

Yes, it was me. Well strange - until now I never felt "stuck" with using
gcc 3.3.2 :) I 'upgraded' to that a couple of years ago and it has worked
just fine. Perhaps something important like libc should be kept at least a
few years backward compatible? The occasional DOS developer might not be
very happy to need to chase every small upgrade as it comes along. We do
want people to do testing, right:)? That being said, I myself was planning
soon to upgrade to 4.1.x sometime toward the end of that minor release.
