Hello,
Imho you are being too optimistic. Afair switching from gcc-2.95 and
getting gcc-3.x in a /releasable/ state took more than half a year.
And during times where there are problems with the toolchain
everything else suffers. (Stuff like KDE being out of date in sarge for
a long time because at the *infrequent* times it would have been ready
itself it triggered a new bug in the toolchain on $arch.)
We could aim for one year and end up with 1.5, and I'd be fine with
that, though. ;-)
