What will come with FreeBSD 8
Ivan Voras has published on its website the major developments planned for FreeBSD 8.
Underlines the intention of leaving GCC as compiler base. Many users (especially commercial ones) do not get along with GPL3, which will be used after GCC 4.2.
The intention is to use the infrastructure LLVM + CLANG to compile the base system, keeping GCC as installable package.
In another development for FreeBSD 8.0 is expected reforms in the USB stack (it will be possible to unplug a pendrive mounted), will include new version of Jails, better support for Xen and new features designed to improve the performance of the CPU.

I do not know why people insist on using GCC compiler dependent extensions, if, however, to my knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong please), there are none that is truly "essential."
The truth is that I find very bad habit to write code C / C + + standard. Is asking for trouble unnecessarily.
Indeed any extension of the GCC is essential.
