I can't believe Chamouel basically says "Follow the leader." If Mandrake
followed everything RedHat did as it did in the early releases, it would
have nothing to offer over RedHat. Thankfully, this is not the
case. However, now he says "RedHat did it so we must do it too." This is
ironic because it is yet another way for Mandrake to stand out from RedHat
and show their support for the GCC team and "stable" releases. Even I
criticize Mandrake for their lack of stability. This certainly will not
help. Please think of valid reasons instead of simply saying "Well RedHat
is doing it so we have to do it too."
