Does anyone really care about new releases they way we used to?
It was a big deal waiting for announce, and then we'd all jump on it like crazy,
except for the 20 or so shops who wanted to wait for PTFs.
Today, most people wait a year or two or three and only about "20 shops" jump on
that new release as soon as it becomes available.
I think they'll announce R5 in late 2007 and ship it in early (first quarter)
2008.

Those who know when R5 may be coming out cannot legally say.
Dr. Frank said earlier this year that there will be no new release in
2007.
Sometimes I like to create hypothesis based on this:

But I can't really find a good pattern. So I combine it with

Reaching into my WAG bag...
Last upgrade date to V5R1 was 21 Nov 2003 or 6 months before the announce
date of 5/04/2004 for V5R3.
Last upgrade date to V5R2 was 01 Oct 2005 or 3 months before the announce
date of 1/31/2006 for V5R4.
Last upgrade date for V5R3 is 04 Jan 2008. 3 to 6 months after that is
anywhere from April to July 2008 for a follow on release.
Disclaimer: This is all strictly based on the above two websites and is
totally a WAG.
