then R6. | |
Allow me to politely but firmly disagree on both points.
Minor releases like 5.1 contain feature code of two kinds: 1) things that are built on the dictionary changes added to the prior major release
(5.0) and 2) features planned for 5.0 that did not make code cutoff for whatever reason.
I don't know 6.0 is better or worse than 5.1, but I can only hope it would be better. V2R5.1.0 was a very poor release for us because of
stability problems, even though we waited 6 months after GCA to install. We chose 5.1.0 because we wanted multi-role capability, but we'd go to
5.0.3 if we had it do over. The system has stabilized at this point (5.1.0.29), but we're probably going to have a "trailing edge" upgrade policy
in the future.
