	Seriously, I would think it safe to assume we won't be staying
	with 2.4.5 forever, and assuming 2.7.X (*) appears to be ok, would
	core consider importing it to -current, or are they intending to
	wait till after the next official release?

	If core would consider pulling it into -current, then its up
	to interested parties to pick a mailing list to talk on
	(ie not netbsd-help :), and start compiling their systems with
	gcc 2.7.X (*) and finding problems.

	So... we just need a word from core :) (Sorry guys :)

	(*) Maybe 2.7.1 would be a better starting point to look at than
	2.7.0, but the sooner people start looking at it & identifying
	problems, the sooner problems could be solved.
