A legit concern, but also realize that all of us are talking about
4.0 here - the new compiler would be an issue we'd have up to a full
year on before the product it's in goes mainstream.  If that's not enough
time to work out the compiler issues after switching, I can't imagine
when we WILL have a better time to try and do this then.  Progress
entails some pain, and if we're unwilling to suffer any at all then
progress ceases entirely.
