I feel compelled to point out that 5 wasn't called -stable until 5.3. 5.0-5.2 were early adopter releases. So 6.n isn't comparable to 5.n (as always YMMV). My understanding is that the whole point of this expedited release process is to avoid the feature creep that leads to huge and sometimes painful leaps (like 4 to 5 was). -David -- "What's the good of having mastery over cosmic balance and knowing the secrets of fate if you can't blow something up?" -Terry Pratchett
