I'm just stating my observations and my decisions
on when I upgraded to a major revision. I started this
back in the early 2.x.x days. I believe 2.2.1 is my
first set of CDs. And I still have most all of them.
I also put in the caveot that a lot of work is being
concentrated on 6.x so times could be shorter.
Personally, I may put 6.0 on a test machine, but I
won't put it in production. I don't work that way.
I will go to 5.5, I'm sure, on my servers. I update
from source fairly regularly. And that was the original
question: Why would 5.5 come out after 6.0?

I never go before x.1. And I skipped 3.x completely.
I just got my final server from 4.11 to 5.4 in July.
6.x is probably still 9-12 months away from prime time.
But that's just a guess on my part. I do know that they
are pushing on it harder than they did for 5.0.

6.0 is indeed receiving quite a bit of testing and bugfixing. It's
a bit presumptuous to make public claims that it's 9-12 months away,
though. I can appreciate the conventional wisdom of staying away from
N.0 releases, but we are putting quite a bit of effort into this one.
6.1 is not going to be 9-12 months away either, nor will 6.2. The 6.x
line is generating quite a bit of excitement and will be a very good set
of releases.
