Also, almost everyone uses LLVM trunk, while no one uses GCC trunk.
They have time to stabilise on their own, we tend to keep trunk
working at all times.

It's funny that GCC is being more progressive than Clang here, but I'd
say stick with release based announcements. If we announce now and do
that on release 3.7, because GCC may release near us, people might
have to change their build files anyway, so we may be lucky.

Normally, I'd say announce in 3.7, change in 3.8.
