see the thread about gcc bootstraps in March:

Seems to be the right time. In
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-04/msg00121.html Mark Mitchell asks for
more testing:
"If people would begin building commonly used programs (XWindows,
Emacs, etc.) with the GCC 3.0 branch and reporting any problems,
that would be great. I will set up a more formal mechanism for that
shortly."
Note that at least on ia64 the ABI for exception handling will
change. Not sure about the other architectures.

gcc-version.dpatch from 2.95 should be included (include 'Debian' in
version string).

Perhaps we should document this group in the README or in a
README.maintainers.
