[Insightl] Going to 6.0?

[Elisa Lanzi]

We are right on the edge with this delay too. If we don't have it by mid-month, we'll be looking to Dec/Jan (if that gives us enough time for all of this migration). Very disappointed since there was a lot of excitement about the 6.0 functionality.  I fear that one more term/year with the old java client will lead to much frustration as other tools get more sophisticated.

Since it is after June 1 and we still don't have an exact release date, 
I doubt we'll be able to upgrade our production environment this summer. 
We're in the same boat -- winter break would be our next window of 
opportunity, and next summer is a more likely target date.
