any ideas when 5.5 will be out

[Paul Root]

I'm just stating my observations and my decisions
on when I upgraded to a major revision. I started this
back in the early 2.x.x days. I believe 2.2.1 is my
first set of CDs. And I still have most all of them.

I also put in the caveot that a lot of work is being
concentrated on 6.x so times could be shorter.

Personally, I may put 6.0 on a test machine, but I
won't put it in production. I don't work that way.

I will go to 5.5, I'm sure, on my servers. I update
from source fairly regularly. And that was the original
question: "Why would 5.5 come out after 6.0?"
