Actually, none of that is true. The reasons for shipping with the
version of gcc they did were (and indeed, still are) entirely valid.
The only real mistake they made was in calling it 2.96, when it should
probably have been called 2.95-RH or similar. And from what I've heard,
that was mostly caused by a miscommunication among the people involved.

Given how many RH staff are responsible for maintaining gcc, I'd say
they're pretty justified in choosing to use a particular version...
