Don't you think branching 6-STABLE (and, thus, getting 6.x RELEASEs)
around June 2005 is too early for users which may be confused a bit with
4.x, 5.x, and 6.x releases. Now we know 4.x stands for "technologically
outdated" but proven stability, and 5.x stands for new technology, new
stable branch. In 2005, 4.x won't lost its actuality, 5.x will be in the
mainstream (hopefully), and what new 6.x releases will be stands for?
I think, there is no radically new technologies, any improvemens from
6-current could be MFC'ed to 5-stable, so why messing with 6.x releases
so early?
This is just my humble opinion...
