Why do people continue to say this?  Many sites have used, are still
using, and plan to continue to use, 5.x in production.  ftp5/cvsup3
ran 5.x until a few months ago, and I have a netnews transit server
and a Web server that still run 5.5.  I'm slowly moving things off 5.x
for the better support and performance of 6.x, but it's been stable
for me in two fairly tough production applications for quite some
time.
