Linus has declared a full feature freeze (see

We don't have a problem with packages requiring differenent versions of
libstdc++ to run. We have problems if we want to have a setup in which we
can compile against different versions of libstdc++.
Are significant differences in the libstdc++ API expected? If not, I don't
think we should bother with supporting compiling against different versions.
