Hi Matthias, Removing GCC 4.8 will need Linux kernel ABI transitions. I haven't seen any discussion on the debian-kernel list, and the latest of the Linux package (uploaded to sid this week) still has it generating linux-compiler-* packages depending on gcc-4.8, so I think the Linux maintainers are expecting GCC 4.8 to be in Jessie.
