That kind of leaves the 2 distinct branches. These are the 4.x and 5.x and are currently represented by 5.3 and 4.10. Which you want is rather for you to decide. I recommend trying both. It seems like a lot of work, but is probably best. Many say that for SMP, 5.3 has advantages although there have been threads in the lists that argue both ways. I would recommend trying with 4.10 for a while and 5.3 for a while and load-testing each to see which performs better and which best fits your needs. -- If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised.
