Yeah, 4.3 won't be stable any time soon.

In FC 6 we shipped this.
In FC 7 I think we will, most likely, back port the ecj work (to
whatever base GCC is being used) and ship a generics-enabled gcj.
As far as I know we don't have a need for a 4.1 + newer classpath. In
fact we tend to avoid this for binary compatibility reasons -- though
perhaps this is overly paranoid.
