For what it's worth, I and a large number of other people I know would 
agree. The 5.x releases so far have been VERY badly received with the 
people I've spoken to and it's not done FBSD any favours. I seem to 
remember something similar happening when we were all running 3.x boxes 
and 4.x started getting releases, but nothing quite like this.

I hear a bikeshed rolling down the hill...
