I realise some on internals would moan, but so far as users care, I 
think 6 would make the most sense.

And yes, I think we should lay out a schedule. We definitely need to 
have more time to prepare this than a usual x.y+1 release, though - a 
major release is a major overhaul and 12 months is probably not enough.
