It looks like kfreebsd-* also made the switch and there's been a request to switch for mips and mipsel. Looking through the bug list for src:gcc-4.5, none of the open issues seem to be specific to the remaining release architectures which haven't switched yet - i.e. ia64, s390 and sparc. Are you aware of any issues which would preclude switching the default on those architectures? Has there been any discussion with the port maintainers regarding switching?
