AFAIR the plan was to keep gcc 3.4.x at least till Sarge is
released. After release date the changes done for gcc-3.4
were supposed to be integrated into the Unstable tree.

If you have obvious compilation failures for 5% of all packages
when using gcc 4.0, how many packages do you expect to have
additional internal problems that haven't been detected yet?

I would like to keep amd64 (gcc-3.4). gcc 4.0 is _too_ experimental.
