It's funny.  For 7.0, RedHat switched to GCC 2.96 from 2.95.3 on the
lastest Rawhide.  But for 7.3, they switched from GCC 3.1, which they
were already using on Rawhide for at least a month, back to 2.96/3.0x.

You can never tell what they are going to do.  But I'm glad to see
this.  In fact, I've gone one step further.  I've advocated that they
should release a .3 around the same time as a new .0.  E.g., RedHat
releases about every 6 months, so make the time time between a .3 and a
.0 just a couple of months.

They "sell" software "like a book" so they can sell it en masse
without a written agreement.  But if you want to "transfer" it,
they say it's not "like a book" but "licensed" under agreement.
