There's at least a few people who've done it.  Personally I'll be using
2.95.3 (or 2.95 from CVS) until forced to do otherwise, just because
it's the most well-tested compiler.

That said, if you do use 3.1, you'll get a bunch more warnings which I
don't think you can turn off, which has kind of annoyed some developers.
