If ShengHuo is the main maintainer behind the release, I think it
should be numbered 6.0 to mark the the change in maintainership.  Just
like Lars's first release was 5.0=20

Yes, I know 5.0 was a rewrite and oGnus won't be, but it is not like
we are running out of positive integers for major versions anytime
soon, and 5.0 is a long time ago.=20=20

Also, I dislike adding extra digits to the minor version, it ruins the
alphabetical sorting of the tar files.
