The discontinuity level of that is pretty high.

Would it make sense to hold up a release for two days if that allowed
some major issues on the part of Ada/ObjC folk to be addressed?  If
that seems high, how about two hours?

I'd prefer see the GCC project have at least a modicum of
consideration for the "lesser participants."
