5.0-release is very near (well, unless something screws up).  That
does not mean that it is ready to be used in a demanding production
environment (and I think yahoo certainly qualifies as that!).  Any
prudent business would want to see 5.x in action for awhile before
switching to it.  Most people are assuming that we'll need to be
at 5.1-release or 5.2-release before businesses would be comfortable
with using it for business-critical production use.
