Everyone I've heard from or have spoken with, who can wait, as there is now a direct migration path from 5.x to 6.5 (conversion still required, can't skip that pain) is going to do that, but around of after the release of 6.5 MP1 or even MP2 (which from my understanding will be released as 6.5.1

I also believe 5.1 MP4+ is the most rock solid product I've run (less DSSU issues) and would prefer to stay on that version and not be forced between choosing either 6.0 MP4+ or 6.5 GA I would suggest for those in the group who are also wanting to wait for 6.5 MP1+ to contact their Veritas/Syman
