Sorry, I wasn't terribly clear.


So last year when I was testing gcc-10 against Fedora one of the
recurring issues we had was that if I needed input from a package
maintainer on an issue flagged by gcc-10 we had no good way for the
package maintainer to get gcc-10 rpms to do any investigation on their own.


With the gcc-11 side tag build and eventual landing in ELN that issue
should be much better.   So if I need to sync with a package maintainer
on an issue, we have a way to make that happen.


Of course, dropping gcc-11 into rawhide earlier helps this issue too :-)
