Wait, why do you want a major version for something that does not
break BC, that only adds a couple of features (even long awaited like
traits)? I don't see one.

For a new major version I would rather first sort out the RFC, get the
next 5.x out and then begin the discussions, designs, etc. Or are you
looking to re do all the mistakes and pains we experiment with 5.3.0
and ex.6.0.0? I won't go down this way.


About the "let drop the number 6" thing, that's just plain marketing
and really, that's the least problem our users have, or that we have.

Cheers,
