No, we're respecting PX4/Firmware master. That's what developers can use at first setup or jumping between branches, what documentation can reference, and now what the actual build/dev environments respect.

The dependency changes the upgrade scenario (arguably a bit more awkward), but I think it's worth it to keep everything coordinated with PX4/Firmware dictating the sanctioned/recommended versions.

To upgrade you try the new toolchain locally (make check_nuttx) and work through any new warnings or issues. Then once reasonably sure we update PX4/Firmware's setup scripts (Tools/setup), propagate through docker, and finally bump the tags.

I got that but I feel it's relevant to invest some time on trying to bring GCC 9 support already. I already spent some time around it and got stuck: PX4/PX4-Autopilot#14691. I think it could be valuable if you could help unblock this. Thanks

There are a small number of v1.11 blocking issues https://github.com/PX4/Firmware/projects/17. As soon as those are out of the way we can bump GCC (now 9-2020-q2-update May 29, 2020).
