How can 2.95.2 possibly be considered bleeding edge?  And why should we
be forced to be stuck with old, obsolete compilers and utilities for
compiling our kernel?  Shouldn't forward progress in the kernel include
supporting current stable compilers, like 2.95.2?  Just because it's a
little more ANSI compliant than previous compilers shouldn't stop us
from using it.

The world moves on.  Shouldn't we, also?
