I think the GCC maintainers have been focused on getting gcc-10 ready in Bullseye: https://lists.debian.org/debian-gcc/2020/07/msg1.html So I suspect unless there were security issues, they've been working on that in sid and testing.

Re: [GTALUG] question on Debian
Just switch to openSUSE Tumbleweed, you will always be on the latest path and the releases are solid. I switched away from Ubuntu after so many years a while back and I am so glad I did. If you miss Debian, or need to do some dev work for it, you can always install KVM and run any Linux distro or Windows off it if you have a decent modern PC with a min of 16GB of ram.
