There was some flame war in linux-kernel and elsewhere I guess because of that. It's not "pre-release". They actually picked a CVS snapshot that was not binary-compatible with anything else, and with unknown bugs, and packaged it. I'd call our version of gcc (2.95.3) a "prerelease", but not Red Hat's "2.96". The gcc people had to publicaly announce that there has never been an official 2.96 gcc version...
