I agree completely with this. This shouldnt be taken up as people 
playing the blaiming game. If GCC 4.0 release had critical errors 
compiling KDE and if the issues are with the compiler its pretty  
reasonable for KDE developers to blacklist this particular version. 
Fedora version of GCC and KDE too has patches which fix these issues in 
the packages provided with Fedora Core 4 and also in 
cvs.fedora.redhat.com. Fedora core 4 being the first adopter to rebuild 
all of its packages (afaik) of this  new version of GCC has  the 
necessary patches again several packages which is bound to get upstream 
sooner or later. In other words,  just let it rest
