I agree wholeheartedly. In fact, I think SuSE would be better off to abandon 6.4 entirely, wait for a month or so, and go with 7.0 and all the goodies.
Paul, you don't seem to know what it takes to build a distribution :)
There's far more involved than could be done in a month. And even XFree86
claim 4.0 not ready for prime time, i.e. ready to replace 3.3.6. This is
because there are still drivers missing from 4.0 (e.g. S3 non VIRGE) and
because 4.0 hasn't been tested enough to really declare it stable.
And even if 4.0 was stable, we'd have to test all major parts of the system
that depends on X11 and that's no small task. Bear with me when I say that
for some folks 6.4 *will* be worth the update.
Watch out this space for when 6.4 is out and we're free to talk about its
features :-)

PS For me personally, the switch to gcc 2.95.2 and thus to one single compiler
would be worth it, but of cause YMMV :)
