I'd say 3 or 4 years would be more realistic if you look at time from
the feature freeze on one enterprise release until the next one ships -
which amounts to a lot of changes that other distos will include.
Even on the server side, 5.x is starting to show its age. For example,
I'd like to be able to rewrite absolute URL's embedded in the content in
sites handled through apache's ProxyPass but mod_substitute was added in
apache 2.2.7 and we still only have 2.2.3.
