Comment 63 for bug 2246

Status Update:
==============
libstdc++so7 package and scim have been tested, and are now ready. scim-qtimm
requires moderate hacking in order to work with the dual C++ ABI. scim-qtimm
can be fixed later because it is far less important.

libstdc++so7 is based on the libstdc++_7 C++ ABI which would be included in a
yet undecided gcc release. The libstdc++_7 ABI adds the needed "weak symbol
version" feature needed by this scim dual C++ requirement, in addition to other
C++ feature benefits. Benjamin Kosnik wants libstdc++so7 in FC5 in order to
satisfy the scim requirement and also expose libstdc++_7 to wide user testing.
Because libstdc++_7 is pre-alpha, we will guarantee in documentation and release
notes that the ABI and so-version (like libstdc++-20060125.so.7) will change in
future updates.

PackageListProcess has initiated and discussion currently ensues.
