The new version is already packaged and I know some work has been done to resolve compilation failures. There's still plenty of time to resolve the remaining issues. It would also be very awkward to *not* allow this: gcc has already been built in F30, so we'd need to bump the epoch and build a lower version after branching if we want to keep using 8.x in F30.

I certainly would be very disappointed to not see the latest release of gcc in Fedora. The release notes are underwhelming, but I expect there are many improvements to look forward to. For example, I know there are some new diagnostics (we fixed two minor bugs in systemd because of them).
