While I didn't follow the topic too much I think it would be appropriate to 
think about how the results will have shifted in about 12 months. Judging 
from the trend I wouldn't be surprised if it would turn out to be something 
like:

gcc 3.3: 6%  gcc 3.4:     20%   gcc 4.0:     40% (193 votes)

So if it would be up to me I'd make the cut at 3.4 and not at 3.3.
