It wouldn't matter anyway.  We tried and tried to get our hands on 5.0
and we didn't get it until the day before MP2 hit the streets.

It seems like new releases will go to new customers first and existing
customers wait.

I've heard that 6.0 has rewrite for the scheduler.  Do you really want
it the GA release?  The Product Manager knows about our specific
environment - we happen to be in the same city as him.  Other customers
might be very satisfied with 6.0GA.
