We're being extremely conservative about patches applied to the 2.95.x
CVS branch.  It is intended always to be release-quality material.

I'm not aware of any plans for an official 2.95.4 anytime soon.
However, system integrators often track that CVS branch with their GCC
packages.  For instance:

$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/specs
gcc version 2.95.4 20011006 (Debian prerelease)
