Hello Mark, For me, I use 5.2.1-RELEASE-p5 as desktop system for a month now, I haven't seen any spontaneous reboots or hangs, I just rebooted only when I had to build new world/kernel, and I never got into any problems (yes with -CURRENT it is another story :)) but that is my subjective point of view, I didn't test it on any production server to this time.. There are many advantages over 4.X branche, just to name few: UFS2, native ACLs support, usb support, yes bluetooth support, new hardware support, schedulers etc etc.. If there were really way too many problems as you say with 5.X, it wouldn't have been released as 5.X-RELEASE, would it? Those way too many problems in -question list are in great part reported from people which came straight to 5.X branch, without any experience with current production branch of 4.X. As others have mentioned in replies to your mail, do not put so much trust into what others say, but put more trust in what you have experienced, or in what you know.. That's my 10c to discussion.
