Don't you (and others on this list) think that these things come a bit 
late now?  I have just subscribed to this list since I'm using 5.2.1 and 
  what I expected were discussions like, the last few bugs being ironed 
out, things getting polished for a stable 5.x tree, and not grass-roots 
discussions about the basic system architecture.  This comes about 2-3 
years late, folks.  Please get your things together and stabilize the 
beast now.
