Yes, but the time span between 4.5 and 4.7 is relatively small compared to, say the EGCS days, or even the 3.x.y days. A lot has changed. I do actually expect a lot to change in the 4.8-4.10 time frame once we agreed on rules governing C++ usage in GCC -- I can tell you that we have several projects in the pipeline. -- Gaby
