Probably a reasonable assumption. =)

Hmm. We've already switched to gcc-3.0 (and so far haven't built a
gcc-2.95 - Our glibc doesn't contain the magic to make everything
friendly between the two) for all the C stuff. I wasn't sure if since
we had a clean slate (There are no packages in Debian for us that are
older than a week or so) if we should use gcc-3.1 right away.
I'm definetly not pushing for anything before Woody (eg. We haven't
filed a request to get gcc-defaults updated, because we don't want to
risk any accidental problems). I'm just trying to figure out what's
best to plan for. If you prefer that we stick to gcc-3.0 and g++-3.0,
then I will let the buildd go ahead and build the C++ packages. If
you say that I can switch to g++-3.1 in 2 or 3 weeks, then I will hold
off until then on any C++ packages.
We also don't mind being a test bed, since we're not a released arch,
our users are used to some hardships. =)
Tks,
