Exactly my point. Lots of people I know didn't upgrade to 5.6.x for suckiness reasons (percieved or otherwise) and won't upgrade to a .0 or a .1 release in production environments. Sad as it may be but saying "Upgrade to something in the last 2 years" just isn't realistic, IMO. -- it's a short link to a dead king
