Assuming I'm release manager for 1.31.0, I'm going to publish explicit
release criteria for key platform/compiler pairs. Basically, the release
criteria will be 100% accounting for all failures on those
platform/compiler pairs.
I assume that Linux/GCC will be one of those platform/compiler pairs. I
need input from Linux/GCC experts as to which version of GCC should be used
for the release criteria.
I see GCC 3.3.1 has just been released, and so will be switching the
Windows/GCC tests to use that version. Unless anyone objects, it will be
one of the Windows release criteria compilers.
