The only reason for a jump to 12, rather than 11.1 is most likely due to three things: 2.6 default kernel now, hal, and dbus. Or is there something else too?
Bah, almost forgot, there's also
gcc-4.1.2-i486-1.tgz

which is definitely a major change. There are significant differences between gcc-3.x and gcc-4.x. In fact, some things may not compile under gcc-4.x ... or at least you may have some trouble. Now, things may have changed since I last used gcc-4.x, but when I was using it, I had to fix a lot of code, because it refused to compile with 4.x, while it compiled just fine with 3.x. (this was mostly games ... so, I mean, it's not that important, but there were some non-games, that I also had problems with)

Is the glibc upgrade significant, like the upgrade to gcc4?
