It's being discussed at the moment. Please, it's not the end
of the freaking world that there are two 'Production Releases'
on the front page. Would you prefer that 5.3 be under the
label 'New Technology', even though it isn't? Yes, FreeBSD
has two production releases. Microsoft has had 2 production
releases in the past. RedHat and SuSE have multiple production
releases. It's not the end of the world =-/
