    Note that 5.x is not yet production quality. It is still primarily
    intended for early adopters to help shake out any bugs. Unless you
    specifically need 5.x features, you might find it less painful to
    start with 4.x as your main platform and just experiment with 5.x on
    some non-critical boxes.
