* Contingency mechanism: Revert to older gcc, mass rebuild everything
again
* Contingency deadline: Before release
This is an invasive contingency mechanism, requiring retesting a lot of functionality; the
contingency deadline for this (i.e. when we need to be comfortable that the revert will
not be needed, should certainly be at the usual beta freeze at the latest, if not earlier.
Invoking this contingency mechanism “before release”, say during the GA RC phase, would
really not be feasible without a massive slip.
