Say, why don't we reserve GCC 5.0 for the first version that gets rid of

I suppose LRA counts, even if it doesn't get rid of reload completely just yet.
Bump the number! :-)
Also the fact that GCC is now written in C++ seems to me to be
deserving of a bump to 5.0.
I agree. This might be a good time to bump the major version number.
In addition to the C++ switch, I think we have a ton of new features.
Alerting users that this release may be a double-edged sword seems wise.
