Fine, a rewrite.  GCC has two older major versions (GCC 5 and GCC 6)
that are still under official active maintenance, for those who want
thoroughly exercised compilers (plus even older versions that are under
various forms of unofficial maintenance).  It also has the current GCC 7
for those who want the latest bleeding edge improvements.

If you want maturity you might have better luck with GCC 5 or GCC 6
than GCC 7.
