Hi, I think there are quite a few things in the change list for 5.0 already and I propose creating an RC in the early December. I'll be the RM for the release and I think that early Dec should give people reasonable time to think about outstanding API/concept issues, specially, considering there's Lucene/Solr revolution next week and the US Thanksgiving around the end of the month.
