<p><strong>Rationale</strong></p>
-<p>It has been difficult for us to make consistent, high-quality
-releases that support a wide variety of targets. In particular, GCC
-3.0 achieved a high standard of quality on many targets, but was by no
-means perfect, and failed to support as many targets as we would have
-liked.</p>
-
-<p>In addition, the release was late relative to original scheduling
-estimates. And, the time between the GCC 2.95 and GCC 3.0 releases
-was longer than everyone would have liked. We think that we will
-better serve the user community by making releases somewhat more
-frequently, and on a consistent schedule.</p>
-
-<p>In addition, a consistent schedule will make it possible for a
-Release Manager to better understand his or her time commitment will
-be when he or she agrees to take the job.</p>
