Eeehm, afaik 5 is an interim for 6, so 5 should be stopped. I know plenty 
people (including myself having a 4-box serving nfs; well because asr0 is 
slow on 5 and 6 is not a option due to rpc.lockd) who have already, plan 
to or are in the process of upgrading from 4 to 6.

Work on 7 should not stop. I think we all have lessons learned from 5. On 
the other hand: freebsd is work in progress... C'mon guys :-D

I think indeed we should make 6 a better 4, just as folks from re@ 
continue to state.

Just my opinion though.

Regards,
Robert
