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 :-).
