I don't see that happening. Maybe an increasingly smaller
cross-section of the post-Windows-and-never-dropped-the-mindset crowd.
As it stands, Debian's widely regaurded as the most common distro in
the server room and increasingly as the most common desktop distro,
and most people credit making sure stable really is rock solid as
being the source of the popularity. Out of the people who have heard
of Debian, I think you're squarely in the minority on this opinion.

I see them in sarge and sid, but not woody. I'd love to know where
you found this...(gcc-3.2 and gcc-3.3 in testing are news to me,
though).

It should bring a lot of cool stuff down to sarge, this has the
potential of being sarge's less stable times, so keep an eye on things
and if an upgrade breaks, be sure to check the daily updates for the
next few days for a working package. (Don't want to worry about
packages not working? Don't use testing or unstable, stick to stable
and frozen.)
