Perhaps > going into 4.12, 4.13, etc? It has been stated that they hope 4.11 will be the last release in the 4.xx track. That is due out at the end of January. I don't think that 4.11 being the last out is hard and fast yet though. I don't see much discussion of stability or security issues with 5.3+ - only some gripes about it being a little slow and some comments that not all the debug code has yet been removed which accounts for a portion of the slowness in some things - network response, I think. > I ask this only because I don't see a lot of communication to the list > about these issues being addressed. It has been discussed a number of times. ////jerry
