I'll heartily second that.  I'm currently running 5.1.21, but I've been
running various versions for several years.  Every problem I have had
has turned out to be a problem with a particular SCSI device (e.g. device
lies about tagged queuing, cables, termination, etc.) and NOT a driver
problem.  Further, the expert help from others on this list has helped
me track down those problems quickly.

Just another happy customer,
