User A installs FreeBSD, registers, works with it for a week, finds he 
isn't getting anything done with it, wipes the drive and goes to something 
else ...

User B installs FreeBSD 5.x, registers, works with it for a while and 
decides to CVSup to -CURRENT, so now we have an artificially high # of 6.x 
installs, and an artificially low # of 7.x installs ... nobody looks to be 
moving to 7.x, therefore why support it from a vendors perspective ...
