The real advantage of gcc-2.95 is that we start to know what are its bugs and limitations so we are less likely to get unpredicted behaviour than with gcc-3.3. In some case this is unvaluable. For the same reason I am quite happy to have woody gcc272 around. (If woody had gcc272, then etch can have gcc-2.95 without shame, I think.)
