Just as they forced an official glibc-2.2 release through for the rh7 release? Maybe you should stop insulting the people who are actually doing the Free Software work who just happens to be paid by Red Hat.
I would personally have preferred to see RH7 postponed at least until glibc-2.2 was put out as a release candidate. gcc on the other hand I don't expect to see being released anytime soon enough for it to make sense (I might be wrong), and Richard is quite right about the C++ binary compat problems, so far nobody has even been able to agree on the naming scheme of the shared libstdc++ package, we just have to wait for 3.0.
