Agreed.  At this point, it's not clear how rapidly 5.x will land.  Once
we've either seen it land, or decided it's taking too long, we can take
appropriate action.  For at least the next month, everything else is pure
speculation.  I'd much rather people invested time in making 5.x get into
strong production shape as soon as possible than that we get involved in
long discussions of the possible strategies.  It's in everyone's best
interest to make 5.0 work as well as possible, and since that's the one
thing we can all agree on, we should work on that :-).
