More importantly: glibc 2.2, gcc 2.96.
Both of them cause that stuff compiled on 7.0 will not run on 6.x without
being recompiled.
For another 6.x release, this is not acceptable (do you think we LIKED
sticking with egcs in 6.1 and 6.2 when gcc 2.95 was out and better?).

It has nothing to do with the other distributions - binary incompatible
changes == new major number.
