I'm not sure where the 2-3 years is coming from, but again, I see no
reason why we wouldn't be able to push .NEXT out within a year (if it's
just phpng along then actually a lot less, but I'm allowing time for extra
features we may want to put in).  As a matter of fact, I don't think we
can even entertain a 2-3 cycle, it will be way too late to market if we
linger for so long.

This is the assumption we should take IMHO, and only branch 5.7 (and more
importantly, invest time in it) if it proves wrong.
