/me too

I had a machine that was absolutely useless with 5.x -- dog slow, and
suffered from random instablility (but no panics or other reportable
phenomenon.)  I ugpraded to 6.0-RC1 the other night and it was better than I
would have imagined.

I still have a lot of 4.x machines, and they will be skipping the 5.x
experiment and moving right to 6.0.

Kudos to all involved.
