We now finally have a RELENG_5 branch, and rumours are it even compiles under some circumstances. Still a long way to 5-STABLE but at least there is now a supported alternative to the outdated 4-STABLE.
I will update fridge to RELENG_5 next week, because I had my first panic on the sparc64 this weekend.
My insight of the weekend: My flat gets too hot for two humans with five running computers.
