Yeah, but I remember at least two people talked to me that would like to
give people some weeks of flexibility before we indirectly force them to
update. As simple 'cp -al 5 5.0; echo "this is unsupported" >
5.0/BIG_FAT_WARNING ; sleep 6w; rm -rf 5.0" could solve that.

But yeah, I actually tend to agree.
