We're doing no such thing. If we did this sort of thing, he would have been pressed into releasing glibc 2.2 in time. drepper-and-others@redhat.com did have some influence on choosing the glibc for 7.0 though, so we're confident no major changes will be necessary.

The opposite is the case. They didn't want to have to support a dead branch (2.1/2.95).

That's what we'll do if any incompatible changes will be necessary - fortunately glibc supports versioning.
