Hi,

I think the core is clean/stable meanwhile. Extensions can of course be
a problem. We've encountered some as well which use functions deprecated
in 4.6 and finally removed with 6.0 :-)

But for quite some big ones there are already updated available - like
for example tt_news. However to install that current tt_news with 6.0
you'd either need to apply a patch by hand, do a current checkout of the
6.0-tree or wait for 6.0.1.

Personally I don't think 6.0.1 is too far down the road. If you'd want
to start "now" I'd suggest to do a git-checkout (of 6.0-branch, not master).

And if you encounter a problem still open, the community would be happy
for you to help track down those or maybe even provide a patch. If your
schedule is not too tight, I think that model should work out.
In urgent cases just ask, and I'm sure we'll find a solution for your
customers.


Kind regards,
 Stefan
