Thank you,

   As long as it's a 2nd port -- that's fine, but I have a lot of v2 hardware, 
i7 Sandy Bridge, etc.. that it would be ridiculous to need a forced 
replacement of.

   As far as the rational "Arch used to pride itself in providing optimised 
binaries out of the box.", I can't see compilation to v3 being more than an 
immeasurable instruction or two different from a build for v2 in all but rare 
packages. It's not like Arch is only used by a minority of users who "may" 
benefit from new gcc11 introduced optimizations.

   Will there be any testing result comparisons posted anywhere on the 
improvements seen between the current build and v3 builds?
