Good to see RedHat isn't a trail-blazer of ingenuity and will follow the herd off the cliff. I'm "kgcc" agnostic, but your argument is weak.
Since you're setting yourself up as a proponent of this can you explain why RedHat includes a compiler that doesn't work with the kernel? Don't get grumpy about who did it first or what the old one is named but be clear what I'm asking. I want to know if the 'gcc' on RedHat 7.0 fixes some problems that the older compilers suffered from? If there's a good reason for the new compiler that breaks with the kernel then great, it makes sense. If it wasn't needed, then it's incredibly stupid.
