At one point Jim Amundsen made a road map which had
a version 6 release on it. I think version 6 was supposed to
be the one in which all the bugs were fixed. Clearly we
haven't gotten there yet ... Version numbers are pretty
arbitrary anyway. I'm happy enough to just keep rolling the
numbers from 5.nn to 5.(nn + 1) indefinitely.
