...now comes gcc 2.96 (before it's ready)...!!!

Come on Redhat!!  This one is going to cause them some grief.

To their credit (LIKE ALL OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS MIND YOU), Redhat
has brought their own "good" inovations too... so they're not
ALL bad, but this BLEEDING (and I mean bleeding) edge
technique of jumping ahead of the other distributions for
the sake of creating incompatibility ... thus making you
want to switch to their distribution ... well it sounds
like something a company with monopoly on their minds
would do.
