Parent article: GCC gets a new Optimizer Framework

It is possible that the first release of GCC based on the tree-ssa framework will be called 4.0 rather than 3.5. The decision on that hasn't been made yet. It is certainly a bigger internal change than any that was made between GCC 2.x and GCC 3.x: the major change there was in the completely new C++ standard library, but for C there were no major architectural or user-visible changes.

People who are concerned with getting the job done really don't care what it gets versioned as. 3.5, 4.0, either way it'll compile my code. Thanks for GCC!
