Wow. I just counted. The snapshot has 85 PR's fixed in the core compiler, and 24 in the C++ front end, since 4.1.2. "Amazingly active" is right. I think that an official release should be put out containing those fixes; they've gotten lots of testing since 4.1-based distros are using those fixes, if I understand correctly. Not even sure that we should close the branch if there's that much fixing going on.
