Woohoo! That's good news for my ultra :-)

No objections, per se, nor any patches YET. Alpha's got a really ugly
problem that I've been trying to solve for a few weeks now (more off than
on). It seems that while linking Qt (mozilla also...any complicated
multiple-inheritence C++ code), it coughs up a bunch of unresolved symbol
problems relating to "Non-virtual thunk to ....". GNATS has a bug against
it already, or else I would've filed one on our BTS and GNATS.
Do you know of any other archs seeing this? Mips used to but it
supposedly went away (btw, they may benefit from a 3.0 snapshot as well,
but I haven't tested it too much yet on my indy).
Aside from all of that, I say upload 3.0 to unstable. At least
gcc-defaults gives us the flexibility to switch each arch as needed
(thanks for that).
