"The Free Software community is well known for its diversity. This is most obvious at the application level, but even exists in the context of operating systems. David Chisnall takes a break from UNIX-derivatives and explores some of the more esoteric options." Note: From experience, I can say that the author's claim that "Haiku is more or less ready for their 1.0 release in terms of features" is a bit overambitious.

Haiku still uses an early GCC 2x release to avoid breaking compatibility with BeOS R5
Problems caused by GCC guys, because they changed the virtual call interface
and name mangling in version 3. In version 4 compatibility was broken again, at least for Sparc.
So, for people from real world, they made impossible to upgrade.
