In fact, 5-stable happens no sooner than 5.3 in Feb 2004. Make the
switch before 5.2 and you have enough time to deal with ports that
suddenly start to break.
Since sparc64 is already labeled tier 1, I would suggest we spend
the rest of this month (= 2 weeks) getting feedback from the field.
If the resistance is small enough, we make the switch early Nov. and
use the remaining time to 5.2 as a shake-out period of src. We then
use the time between 5.2 and 5.3 to shake out problems in ports.
No mistakes: "we" does not include "marcel" :-)
