Right.

A month ago: for sure.  A week ago: maybe.  Now?  Ask a release manager
if they want a change that doesn't fix an apparent regression, right
now, where they're about to branch RSN.  I'm sure right after the branch
will be a good time for trunk, and after the release will be a good time
for the gcc-4_6 branch.

Well if binutils schedule conflicts, I guess it it better to break sync
between GCC and src temporarily.  Other than that, at least for GCC I'd
consider it a bit of a stretch to try to start supporting some operating
system in the middle of a regression fixes development stage.

Cheers,
