The only thing on the table in the immediate term is to start dropping gcc snapshots into rawhide after stage1 development closes -- ie mid Nov. So it shouldn't impact your desire to be able to break things during gcc stage1 :-) While I think we should seriously consider even earlier drops, that would be in the gcc-12/F36 timeframe and would require a distinct change proposal and I think it would be significantly more controversial.
