> I think D5 is too big to EOL<br><br>Yeah, I know of another small piece of software that people constantly say this about. It's called IE6, and it is the bane of most developers lives. <br><br>Don't encourage bad behavior. D5 will be EoL in a few short months. "It's been real, but don't let the door hit you in the ass..." <br>
<br>FYI: at this point my feeling is that you couldn't pay us enough to maintain D5 code past the D7 release. I can't speak for anyone else, but I have to believe that most contributors feel the same way. <br><br>
