Since you haven't, in all your ranting, mentioned a single specific
bug that we might hope could be fixed and certainly not fixed by
waiting, what is your suggestion to make things better here?  Fedora
doesn't control the C language or gcc versions.  If those move in a way
that breaks old stuff - or refuses to build old already-broken stuff,
what do you expect a distribution on a fast release schedule to do?
If you are going to criticize, be constructive.
