My understanding from our Symantec account team is that 3rd Oct 2007 is EOSS 
(End of Service Support?) for 5.1 - ie. no new maintenance packs, EBFs etc.
EOPS (End of Product Support) is 1 Dec 2008

        I also believe 5.1 MP4+ is the most rock solid product I've run (less 
DSSU issues) and would prefer to stay on that version and not be forced between 
choosing either 6.0 MP4+ or 6.5 GA
        
        I would suggest for those in the group who are also wanting to wait for 
6.5 MP1+ to contact their Veritas/Symantec SE/Account Mgr's and let them know 
as a customer you're being placed between a rock and a hard place in terms of 
migration choices.
         
        In talking with my former RTAM and current local Symantec SE, I'm 
starting to hear they maybe considering the Oct 2007 date as a "soft" and not a 
hard date.
         
        Now maybe the time to put our voices behind this and tell them Oct 2007 
end of support for 5.1 is unacceptable.

        Bit gutted really as I have personally found 5.1 to be rock solid here 
at both my sites!
         
        Guess 6.5 is coming sooner than expected now then !?
