There's no way that 10/2007 makes sense for EOL of 5.1. Assuming, and 
this is a big assumption, given Veritas'/Symantec's history regarding 
making their release dates with NBU, that 6.5 is released by then, given 
the initial problems with upgrading from 5.x -> 6.x, they're not going 
to pull the rug out of 5.1 just yet. If I'm wrong, that's going to be 
pretty sad.
