If anything, it seems like a great reason to try to get 9.5 out BEFORE
we open the tree for 9.6/10.0/Cloud++. While there were technical
issues, 9.4 dragged a considerable amount because most people were
ignoring it in favor of 9.5 development.
So far, I haven't seen any features for 9.5 which would delay a more
timely release the way we did for 9.4. Anybody know of a bombshell
someone's going to drop on us for CF5?
