No. :-)

GCC changed the versioning scheme similar to FreeBSD: the next
major releases after GCC 4.8 and GCC 4.9 are going to be GCC 5,
GCC 6, GCC 7, and so forth.

Accordingly I am planning to call the tools gcc5, g++5, gfortran5, 
and gcj5, respectively (and documented this in lang/gcc5/pkg-descr).
Otherwise, we'd be changing that for bugfix releases.

Does that make sense?

Gerald
