No really, the release has been delayed for very hard release critical
bugs that affected all artchitectures, for problems in the installation
system, for waiting for crypto in main, but never because we had some
trivial gcc 3.0 compile problem on hppa or ia64. The closest all the
ports have come to holding up the release is this month, when we had to
delay it until we can roll out a security infrastructure on all the
ports.
