I can tell you for a fact that our customers are not jumping to 6. They
are all on 5 and will remain there for the foreseeable future.

I admit that I tend to stay on the database side of things and a lot of
what I do is fix deficiencies in the Drupal model by moving them
properly into the database and having Drupal called stored procedures
etc.. but I can say that the customers that we deal with are sticking
with 5 precisely because of the concerns on this thread.
