... and my expectation is that if the security team drop support for D5 
(as planned) then we'll find other people working on big D5 projects 
contributing security fixes as well.

This is potentially a really good way to get some of the companies 
benefiting from Drupal to contribute stuff back.

I think D5 is too big to EOL

especially as D6 hasn't been complete enough (still no stable 
e-commerce) for long enough (new D5 sites still being launched now)
