Is this maybe "will already have ... when we release"?
Because otherwise, this is obvious nonsense. 3.2 was released *yesterday*.
I am pretty certain 99% of all upstreams haven't even realized yet that
3.2 exists. *No* distribution currently ships with 3.2.[1]
Our current packages may or may not be incompatible, but not for this
reason.
[1] From the gcc list, IIRC several distributions were planning on
shipping with 3.2 end of August or September. That was one of the
arguments for creating 3.2.
