I realize that resources to keep chasing this stuff are in limited supply, 
but if you solicit the opinion of the community, I'd bet that more people 
would rather see 4.x support continue than 5.x support.

I know that it would be a violation of the stated policy, but I think that 
supporting 4.x and 6.x over the next year would benefit way more people 
than the current plan of supporting 5.x and 6.x and eol'ing 4.x.

just a thought...
