Mea culpa sorry. I am a bit behind on security paperwork needed for those.

Basically yes we are back at "encourage to upgrade".

To be specific:
  * The initial big troubles were resolved in 5.5.
  * We have two reports of Delay Pools having weird behaviours, but that 
is shared with v4.

  * WCCP regression (YMMV) in latest security patches has not fully been 
resolved in the official code. Experimental patches are available if 
necessary.
