Which would be the 2005 release.
It seems that arguments are mostly exchanged, there's nothing new to be
said. I just wanted to let you know that Markus Kohm has encouraged me
to bring this up again this week - he's on vacation now -, and to urge
you to do the switch now.
It's up to you to decide; but you should decide. Not making a decision
because "it's better to do the real work" is bad, since you'll get the
same questions over and over again.
Regards, Frank
