Realistically, nobody having a working D5 site and not planning a major
overhaul will not update to D6 completely regardless of whether
views/cck/panels/holy_grail for D6 is available or not.

The question is whether new projects would use D5 or D6.

Today, I advised somebody to go with D5. This was mainly because of the
tight deadline (end of may).

If he had said "end of June" I might have considered to go with D6 (D5
would still be safer). "end of July" would be a definite yes for D6.

This would be about half half a year after D6 initially got released,
that's not too bad. D6.0 was quite unusable for larger sites anyway due
to some bugs relevant for performance.

Cheers,
	Gerhard
