x86:

Well, thanks to wolf31o2 and amne, we have a nice gcc migration doc. Thanks to that, I could mark gcc-3.4.4-r1 stable on x86 and hope to avoid most of the issues people are going to run into. Of course, this assumes people will go and read the doc, which I know isn't going to happen at first, but atleast we have somewhere to point them to :) Also, tomorrow is Gentoo Bug Day, so I hope to try and get some people to help me test some of the bugs that have been assigned to x86 for awhile, and are starting to rot.

gcc:

Well, now that gcc-3.4 is stable on x86, that means I can start to push for gcc-4.0 to get into ~arch :) We want to make another patchset before we think about doing that though. In my testing, I haven't run into any major packages that don't compile anymore, and have only been getting positive feedback from people running it. I'm sure there are still a few apps out there that are broken, and I either haven't found out about, or are going to take a little time to fix properly. Let me know if you run into problems via email or IRC so I can look into them.
