The version of GCC shipped with FC4 was not a stable release of GCC. End 
users wouldnt have to worry about the KDE blacklisting since it was 
already patched, build against GCC 4 and provided as part of FC4. A 
prior version of GCC was also provided for compatibility reasons for 
developers who needed to compile code not compatible with the system 
compiler.
