This is at least one user who would prefer it if you didn't.
My reasoning is this: my Linux system runs RedHat 5.2, which is
glibc-2.0. I don't trust the new kernel 2.2 releases at all. Not an
inch. I'm providing services to other people on our LAN on this server,
so I'm trying to get as little down time as possible. But I need to
ensure that any Ada programs I write will truly cross-compile to a
Unix-like machine before I submit them.
Likewise I would like to ensure that my development tools are recent as
hopefully (n_bugs_fixed > n_bugs_introduced).
