From a timing standpoint we're trying to get ELN up and running with gcc-11 right now. The earliest Jakub was comfortable dropping gcc-11 snapshots into rawhide was after stage1 development closes for upstream gcc (mid-Nov) and even that probably needs to be discussed with FESCO and the wider Fedora dev community as it is potentially disrupting (regardless of how much testing and fixing I've already done in rawhide in preparation for gcc-11). Delaying gcc-11 into ELN would throw everything downstream of that off from a scheduling standpoint. But I very much agree that GCC should be moving into rawhide earlier than has been done in the past. In an ideal world it would have gone in just after F33 branched and updated regularly.
