No, this is just a continuation of a process that has been somewhat 
stalled since Danny Smith resigned his formal MinGW.org capacities. 
(Danny continues to improve GCC as the Windows co-maintainer of the 
upstream project.)

Part of the delay is making sure the MinGW-local improvements that were 
made during 4.2 still work well enough in 4.3.  In the future, we'll try 
to avoid this situation by getting improvements into the upstream 
sources before they are added to the local patch set; our testing 
periods will coincide with GCC's testing periods, so MinGW will release 
its GCC at the same time as upstream project does.

Please see <http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/GccStatus> for our 
time-line in this regard, and let me know if you have any other concerns.
