As one who "was there" for about half of the 5.X releases, I think we
did the best we knew how to do at the time, but if we knew then what we
know now, there are things we would have handled differently.  (The
details have been discussed extensively on the lists, by people who are
both more knowledgable and more eloquent than me.)

You're welcome, and I'm sure I speak for at least a few other developers
when I say that you'd be surprised how valuable a "donation" of a few
kind words can be.

Cheers,
