Nice, but 5.x is nice for new installations by Just+Some+Guy · 2005-01-25 09:13 · Score: 5, Informative

I think it's great that they're maintaining the 4.x branch for a little while longer for those who can't afford to upgrade today. Still, if you're on 4.x and haven't made the jump because you're nervous about it, this is an excellent time to do so. I'm running it on several production servers, and it's at least as fast for everything I've thrown at it (and quite a bit faster at some things).
