What do you mean not much better. There is virtually no difference between 4.3.17 and 5.0.0. There is a 5.0.0 package in experimental.

And like I said, 4.3.17 and 5.0.0 is practically the same code base. Don't think 5.0.0 is something different because of the major release; you would be wrong. Regards, Frank
