[TYPO3-english] 4.7 or 4.5

[Andi]

start testing the site if everything is working with 6.0 as lots of extensions you probably use still hold lots of deprecated functions. If the customer was waiting so long from 4.2 to 4.7 until he decides to update than 1 month more waiting for 6.0 would be the best choice.
