I think that's a bit of an over reaction, ultimately F-22 is due to
branch on February 10th which is less than a month from now, the
moment it branches gcc5 could land and people are then free to rebuild
anything they like and gcc5 will be in the October release which is in
all likely hood earlier than most other distros would adopt it anyway.
For a product with a rough schedule every 6 month and another quite time
based every 12 months that is significant. It turns Fedora from being one
of the first distros to ship the new compilers to one of the last if not the
last one.
