After reading this in the current abstract: This document is now mostly of historical value. It presented a roadmap for the development of &os;'s &t.releng.5; branch. It was originally written in February 2003 (between the 5.0 and 5.1 releases), and was intended to provide a plan for making the &t.releng.5; branch stable, both in terms of code quality and finalization of various APIs/ABIs. For a different perspective, the article Choosing the &os; Version That Is Right For You may be of interest. The version-guide article was written in August 2005 (two and a half years later), and it contains a section discussing how these plans and events actually unfolded, as well as some lessons learned. it was obvious to me that the article is *not* describing the current state of affairs. Any suggestions about improving the text to make it less confusing for people who just happen to stumble upon it now, are very welcome :)
