The RELENG_5 branch is alive, but will probably be somewhat quiet compared 
to 6.x.  I've been merging netperf changes to 5.x where possible, for 
example, but the definition of "possible" is constrained by compatibility 
requirements.  I anticipate continuing to do so, subject to time and 
compatibility concerns.  My hope is to see fairly rapid adoption of 6.x, 
although it's not yet clear to me how the first month or so of bug reports 
will go for it yet.
