Please file detailed and specific bugs against 5.x if any APIs have changed which break contributed modules. This should not happen.
That's fine, but wouldn't it be more expedient to open the scrutiny of the api's to the entire Drupal community? Any one individual (or even a handful of individuals) is going to have a more limited amount of time to research, document, and fix the existing issues with Drupal 5.x-dev than if the entire Drupal 5 user base is looking at things.
Well, Drumm asked you to do just this. Submitting an issue is a completely open process.
I guess I don't understand the reasons for not releasing something at this point.
Well, you provided the reason yourself, so honestly I don't understand this sentence. You said the current 5.x-dev breaks with contributed modules. But you don't see a reason not to release it?! Gabor
