Understood.  I will begin working with 6.0 immediately.  From what I can
gether, the move from 5.x to 6.0 is very different than the move from 4.x
to 5.0 ... 6.0 seems to be more of a organic growth from 5.x, and is less
drastic and profound in its changes ?

I ask because there is no way I would have gone production on 5.0-RELEASE
at the time, but now with 6.0-RELEASE I am hearing nothing but good and
reassuring things about it ...

thanks.
