The last word I had (from a RH staff member) was that the decision was
made in preparation for kernal 2.4 & gcc 3.0. The deciding factor
apparantly
was the use of an interface matching the needs of those components.
The
idea is that a minor update should be sufficient to bring 7.0 up with
those components when released.
Prognostication can be a hard way to make a living.
